  • Title: Fatal peritoneal bleeding following embolization of a carotid-cavernous fistula in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV.
    Author: Usinskiene J, Mazighi M, Bisdorff A, Houdart E.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2006; 29(6):1104-6. PubMed ID: 16967223.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 25-year-old woman treated for a spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistula in a context of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV. Embolization with a transvenous approach was achieved without complications; however, the patient died 72 hr later of massive intraperitoneal bleeding. At autopsy, no lesion of the digestive arteries was identified. Possible causes of this bleeding are discussed.
