Treatment of Complete Persistent Sciatic Artery with Distal Thromboembolism by Thromboembolectomy Only

Abstract: A persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is very rare congenital vascular anomaly which is present in 0.025% to 0.04% of the population by an angiographic study. A PSA is usually combined with aneurismal disease or thromboembolic events because of its arteriosclerosis and vessel wall degeneration. The treatments of symptomatic PSA are comprised of exclusion of PSA from circulation and bypass surgery for the lower limb. However, surgical treatment should be tailored to its anatomy and presentation. We report a success… Show more

“…The persistent sciatic artery that replaces the femoral artery is an anomaly difficult to diagnose, leading to ischemia of the lower extremity 7,[10][11][12][13] . The resources contain data of topographic variants of the accompanying artery of sciatic nerve [14][15][16][17] . Clinical observation of a patient with abnormal course of iliac and femoral arteries is reported by Tsygankov et al 13 .…”
