Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare vascular anomaly. This case highlights a patient with bilateral PSA and aneurysm, emphasizing risks of thrombus and distal embolization.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly with limited documentation in interventional cardiology.
  • The anatomical vulnerability of PSA predisposes it to aneurysm formation and subsequent complications.

Observation:

  • A case report of an 80-year-old woman presenting with bilateral persistent sciatic arteries.
  • The patient exhibited a unilateral aneurysm within one of the persistent sciatic arteries.

Findings:

  • Conventional angiography revealed bilateral PSA with a unilateral aneurysm.
  • Evidence suggestive of distal embolization was observed, indicating potential complications of the vascular anomaly.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing PSA in clinical practice, particularly in the context of aneurysm formation.
  • Understanding the risks associated with PSA, such as thrombus formation and distal embolization, is crucial for appropriate patient management and intervention.
  • Further research into the interventional management of PSA and its associated aneurysms may be warranted.
