Persistent sciatic artery is a relatively uncommon peripheral vascular malformation of the lower extremity arterial blood supply that is often misdiagnosed. We present a case report of a 52-year-old, obese female who presented to our center with symptoms of lower extremity ischemia. We describe a novel approach combining open and endovascular techniques for the treatment of a persistent sciatic artery aneurysm, providing maximal benefit, while minimizing potential complications due to her co-morbidities.
永存坐骨动脉是一种相对罕见的下肢动脉血供周围血管畸形，常被误诊。我们报告一例52岁肥胖女性患者，她因下肢缺血症状前来我院就诊。我们描述了一种将开放手术和血管腔内技术相结合的新颖方法，用于治疗永存坐骨动脉动脉瘤，该方法在使患者受益最大化的同时，将因其合并症导致的潜在并发症降至最低。
