Abstract
CUEVAS MARTINEZ, Borja et al. Hybrid treatment of a persistent sciatic artery aneurysm. Angiología [online]. 2021, vol.73, n.3, pp.155-158. Epub June 14, 2021. ISSN 1695-2987. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/angiologia.00237.
Introduction:
a persistent sciatic artery is a very rare anatomic condition with frequently associated symptoms related with the aneurysmal degeneration of the vessel.
Case report:
we present a case of a 73-year-old patient with an aneurysmal persistent sciatic artery that was discovered on an MRI angiography. A hybrid surgical treatment was performed by embolization of the persistent sciatic artery using an Amplatzer™ Vascular Plug II (AVP, St. Jude Medical, Plymouth, MN) and a femoropopliteal bypass with a PTFE prosthesis. The procedure was uneventful and the patient reported no symptoms one year after the intervention.
Discussion:
hybrid treatment in these cases is a simple option that can reduce the surgical morbidity of conventional surgical treatment.
