Persistent Sciatic Artery Aneurysm with Limb Ischemia: A Report of Two Cases

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: We report two cases of persistent sciatic artery (PSA) aneurysm with limb ischemia. Physicians who treat peripheral artery disease should be aware that PSA is a very rare congenital malformation of the lower extremities that is potentially hazardous, and that revascularization should be performed when a PSA aneurysm is treated.
