Endovascular therapy of superior gluteal artery aneurysms: case report and review of literature

Semin Intervent Radiol. 2007 Mar;24(1):29-33. doi: 10.1055/s-2007-971182.

Abstract

We report two cases of superior gluteal artery aneurysms successfully treated with coil embolization and review treatment options for these lesions. Our experience in the treatment of three total aneurysms, two likely post-traumatic in etiology and one mycotic, suggests that endovascular therapy is an effective alternative to open surgery when treating superior gluteal artery aneurysms.
