Diagnóstico e tratamento de aneurisma da artéria isquiática persistente: relato de caso e revisão da literatura

Abstract: A persistência da artéria isquiática é uma variação anatômica rara cujo curso clínico é potencialmente grave, pois o diagnóstico ocorre quando já estão presentes complicações clínicas. Essas complicações advêm do fato de a parede da artéria isquiática ter uma tendência à degeneração ateromatosa com formação aneurismática, podendo evoluir para uma oclusão ou para um tromboembolismo. Este artigo relata o caso de um paciente do sexo feminino, com queixas de dor intensa secundária a compressão extrínseca do nervo … Show more

“…4,6,9,[12][13][14][15] Grafts with dacron prostheses and PSA angioplasty have also been described in the literature. 16,17 Monitoring, with no surgical treatment, has been recommended in some cases with claudication. 3,13,18 In incomplete persistent arteries, ligature of the PSA without revascularization has also been described.…”

“…Another possible symptom is acute or chronic ischemia due to accelerated atherosclerotic disease and consequent thromboembolism 11 . The diagnosis may be suspected if a patient presents with reduced or absent femoral pulse but palpable popliteal and distal pulses associated or not with a pulsatile gluteal mass 12 . The differential diagnosis should include lumbosciatalgia, arteriovenous fistula, gluteal abscess and, principally, gluteal artery aneurysm 2 .…”

“…There is no consensus in the literature about the best therapy for this entity, and treatments should be selected for each specific case. Some reports describe the use of several grafts, synthetic prosthesis and autologous veins, and results have been good [12][13][14] . There are also a few reports of successful endovascular treatment using thrombolysis, embolization, covered stents and angioplasty 10,13,15 .…”

“…[15] This diagnosis may be suspected if a patient presents with reduced or absent femoral pulse but palpable popliteal and distal pulses associated or not with a pulsatile gluteal mass. [16] A failure to recognize a PSA as the major blood supply to the lower limb may lead to an incorrect diagnosis of femoral artery occlusive disease and inappropriate surgical revascularization. [17] Some patients may experience sciatica manifested by pain , numbness or motor impairment as a result of compression of the sciatic nerve by the aneurysm at the level of sciatic notch.…”

“…[10] There is no consensus in the literature about the best therapy for this entity and treatment should be selected for each specific case. [10] Some reports advocate the use of grafts, synthetic prosthesis and autologous veins [16,19] while others have achieved good results with thrombolysis, embolization, covered stents and angioplasty. [14,19,20] The surgical treatment definitely generates risk due to difficulty of exposure and proximity with the sciatic nerve.…”
