Hybrid Treatment for a Persistent Sciatic Artery Aneurysm with Buttock Pain and Intermittent Claudication

Abstract

Persistent sciatic artery aneurysm is so rare that the sciatic artery which mainly feed lower limbs in the embryonal development after birth form an aneurysm and sometimes cause limb ischemia. We present a case of a 56-year-old, obese woman who complained of right buttock pain and intermittent claudication with right persistent sciatic aneurysm and obstructive right poplitial artery. We treated it successfully by hybrid treatment with transcatheter embolization and revascularizaion.
