Abstract
Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare anomaly that may cause various symptoms, such as aneurysm, rupture, thromboembolism, and sciatica. Direct surgery can be performed to treat PSA aneurysm (PSAA), but is associated with complications; e.g., anatomical problems such as sciatic nerve injury. Herein we report a case of a 74-year-old woman with acute limb ischemia that developed from a distal embolism caused by a thrombus in the left PSAA; favorable results were obtained for her by treatment with a stent-graft after rapid anticoagulation therapy for limb salvage.Entities:
