Abstract
Gluteal artery aneurysms (GAAs), classified as true or false, account for <1% of all aneurysms. Of the 175 GAAs reported in the English literature, 20 are true aneurysms, making this case the twenty-first reported true aneurysm and sixth of atherosclerotic origin. We report a true GAA in a 72-year-old woman. Pelvic computed tomography suggested GAA (7.2 × 4.9 cm); subsequently, an endovascular approach allowed definitive diagnosis and treatment-coil embolization. In accordance with the literature and the surgical and clinical success of our case, endovascular embolization of GAAs has emerged as an effective and safe treatment.
