  • Title: Complicated Open Repair of Type B Aortic Dissection in a Patient With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Rescued by Endovascular Intervention.
    Author: Chhabra JS, Zhou W.
    Journal: Vasc Endovascular Surg; 2022 Jul; 56(5):525-528. PubMed ID: 35356824.
    Abstract:
    Ehlers-Danlos is a connective tissue disorder characterized by hypermobile joints, hyperextensible skin, and increased bleeding tendency. We report a case involving endovascular repair of an intussusception of aortic dissection that occurred in an Ehlers-Danlos patient following surgical repair of an intercostal artery bleed. Given the rarity of Ehlers-Danlos, continued reporting of treatment outcomes is important for refining complication management in this population. Our experience lends support for endovascular rescue of failed aortic repair that may arise in Ehlers-Danlos patients and contributes to the otherwise small body of literature concerning endovascular intervention in this population overall.
