Operative decision making for repair of a penetrating trauma to a persistent sciatic artery: posterior exposure in prone position

Le résumé fourni par la source

A persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a congenital vascular anomaly that results from failure of fetal sciatic artery regression into common and superficial femoral arteries. Although rare, PSA can lead to aneurysmal degeneration, with complications of rupture or ischemia from occlusion or thromboembolism. Symptomatic cases have been treated with both endovascular and open repair. Penetrating trauma to a PSA is exceptionally uncommon, with only a few reported cases describing successful repairs. This case highlights operative decision making and technical considerations for managing traumatic PSA injuries and represents the first report describing posterior exposure following failed endovascular intervention for penetrating trauma.
