Aneurysm of persistent sciatic artery: report of a case treated by endovascular occlusion and femoropopliteal bypass.
Aneurysmal degeneration is the most serious complication of persistent sciatic artery. In the literature there have been only 16 surgically treated cases. We report one additional case to present an original and safe method of treatment: balloon endovascular occlusion and femoropopliteal bypass. Diagnosis and other methods of treatment are discussed.
