What is...
Aorta-iliac-femoral bypass ?
This is a type of surgery in which diseased aorto-iliac arteries are replaced with synthetic tubes (grafts) made of special cloth or plastic material. The material resembles pants with the waist sewn to a healthy part of the aorta, and the legs sewn to the femoral arteries in each groin. Blood flows through the graft, bypassing the patient's blocked arteries.

Choose a Health Insurance Plan that covers your Doctor
This one sounds so obvious and yet most people miss it. If you are looking to buy health insurance, you fall into one of two situations:
Case 1: You do not have a family doctor or specialist. Alternatively, even if you have one, you are not particularly attached to seeing that doctor. If this is true, then you can safely ignore the rest of this post.
Case 2: You do have a family doctor and would very much like to continue seeing that doctor. If you fall into this category, then remember this – not all doctors accept every plan. If you buy a health insurance plan and then find out later that it does not cover your doctor, you could lose hundreds of dollars in out-of-network costs each year.
So, if you do have a family doctor and would like to keep him or her – please do ask your health insurance counselor to choose a plan that covers that doctor!
