Abstract
Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare vascular anomaly that result s from failure of an embryonal artery to the lower extremities to regr ess during fetal development. Aneurysm formation, thromboembolism, and arterial occlusions may complicate this abnormality. We report a pati ent with complete bilateral PSA and intermittent claudication who was treated by bilateral percutaneous angioplasty.
