We describe a case of a complete persistent sciatic artery in an asymptomatic patient with multiple aortoiliac aneurysms. After endoaneurysmorraphy and ligation of the persistent sciatic artery at its origin, the patient did well, without ischaemic complications. Peripheral vascular reconstruction, although often recommended in the literature, did not seem to be indicated in this case.
