In a man with ischemia of the right leg due to embolism of popliteal artery, arteriography following failure of embolectomy via the common femoral artery revealed the internal iliac artery continuing as an aneurysmally dilated sciatic artery distally to the popliteal artery. The aneurysm was ligated and bypass established from the common femoral to the popliteal artery.
