Abstract

General & Internal Medicine Life Sciences & Biomedicine Medicine, General & Internal Science & Technology
Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) aneurysms are a rare cause of gluteal or lower extremity pain. The persistent sciatic artery is an uncommon congenital vasculature anomaly that presents with variable clinical presentation and is prone to cause an aneurysm, thrombosis, rupture, and possible amputation. Thus, early diagnosis is imperative to prevent further complications. We present the case of a 75-year-old female who was diagnosed with a persistent sciatic artery aneurysm after presenting with gluteal and lower extremity pain initially thought to be sciatica. Our patient underwent a successful hybrid open and endovascular approach with a femoral to below-knee popliteal artery bypass and the placement of coils at the proximal and distal ends of the aneurysmal segment.
