A persistent sciatic artery is an embryological remnant of the internal iliac artery that occurs in 0.03% to 0.06% of the population and may develop aneurysmal degeneration. Aneurysms can lead to distal embolization with increased risk of limb loss, especially if the sciatic artery is the main arterial supply to the limb. A sciatic artery aneurysm must be treated whenever diagnosed, because of the high risk of complications. Treatment options include open, endovascular, or hybrid repair. This manuscript describes a patient with bilateral persistence of the sciatic arteries, both with aneurysmal degeneration, who underwent endovascular repair with Covera (Bard Medical, Georgia-USA) covered stents.
坐骨动脉持续存在是髂内动脉的一种胚胎学残余,在人群中的发生率为0.03%至0.06%,可能发生动脉瘤样退变。动脉瘤可导致远端栓塞,增加肢体丧失的风险,特别是当坐骨动脉是肢体的主要动脉供应时。由于并发症风险高,坐骨动脉瘤一旦诊断就必须治疗。治疗选择包括开放手术、血管腔内修复或杂交修复。本文描述了一名双侧坐骨动脉持续存在且均有动脉瘤样退变的患者,该患者接受了使用美国佐治亚州巴德医疗公司的Covera覆膜支架进行的血管腔内修复。
