Abstract
|
|
|
|
Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital peripheral artery disorder that is usually detected incidentally on computed tomographic examination. PSA can also cause iliac aneurysm and acute thromboembolism, which are potentially associated with rest pain, claudication, and limb-threatening ischemia. Patients with PSA and leg ischemia should be treated with revascularization and appropriate management of PSA aneurysm. The authors often choose emergent bypass surgery or endovascular intervention for aneurysmal rupture and acute lower-extremity arterial occlusion. This report describes an emergency procedure using catheter-based thrombolysis for acute limb ischemia in a patient with PSA.
