title: Exclusion of a sciatic artery aneurysm and an obturator bypass.
abstract: This case report describes surgical treatment in a sciatic artery aneurysm with hypoplastic external iliac and femoral arteries. An obturator bypass grafting procedure from the internal iliac artery to the distal sciatic artery was performed after aneurysmal exclusion was achieved by proximal and distal ligation. This method offers an acceptable option for surgery in some types of sciatic artery aneurysms.
