Abstract
In this report, a case involving surgical removal of an aortic foreign body will be presented and a review of vascular surgery will be discussed. The main objective of vascular surgery is to restore the circulation to normal function in the tissues where the blood supply has been interrupted or obstructed. Vascular surgery can be relatively simple and rewarding if some basic principles are recognized and adhered to.
