Endovascular Management of a Large Persistent Sciatic Artery Aneurysm Inui, T. S., Picel, A. C., Barleben, A., Lane, J. S. ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC. 2018: 312.e13–312.e16

Abstract

The persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a remnant of the fetal circulatory system that is preserved in less than 0.1% of the population. Up to 60% of patients with this vascular anomaly will go on to development of a PSA aneurysm (PSAA), which can produce a variety of symptoms including neuropathy, claudication, and acute limb-threatening ischemia. Historical management is by open operation and interposition grafting, which can be highly morbid. We describe successful management of a large, symptomatic PSAA by endovascular stent grafting with intermediate term follow-up.
