Serous fluid leakage without seroma after aortobifemora bypass operation

Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2002 Feb;8(1):54-5.

Abstract

Perigraft seroma and serous fluid leakage is an uncommon clinicopathologic entity. Serous leaks and/or seroma formation from dacron grafts have been reported in peripheral arterial anastomoses. We present a case of serous fluid leakage without seroma which developed after aorto-bifemoral and femoro-popliteal bypass.
