Abstract
- The persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly. It may predispose to thrombosis, atherosclerotic or aneurismal degeneration. We report a patient having PSA presenting with acute lower limb ischemia due to popliteal artery embolism. The patient was successfully treated with surgical exclusion of the PSA and arterial reconstruction of the lower extremity.
