A persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare vascular anomaly not extensively described in the interventional cardiology literature. Because of its vulnerable position, it is associated with a high risk of aneurysm formation, making it prone to thrombus formation with subsequent arterial insufficiency because of distal embolization. We report the case of an 80-year-old woman who was found to have bilateral PSA with unilateral aneurysm and evidence of possible distal embolization on conventional angiography.
持续性坐骨动脉(PSA)是一种罕见的血管异常,介入心脏病学文献中对此描述不多。由于其位置易受影响,它与动脉瘤形成的高风险相关,容易形成血栓,随后因远端栓塞导致动脉供血不足。我们报告了一例80岁女性病例,该患者被发现双侧患有PSA,一侧有动脉瘤,传统血管造影显示可能存在远端栓塞迹象。
