Endovascular embolization with a liquid embolic agent successfully treated an impending rupture of a collateral artery aneurysm in a patient with vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
Case Report (n=1)
Endovascular embolization can be a successful treatment strategy for recurrent arterial aneurysm rupture in patients with vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
May support embolization for aneurysms in vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome; leaves open safety and efficacy in larger cohorts.
Arterial aneurysm rupture is one of the most critical complications in patients with vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS). Here, we report a case of recurrent aneurysm rupture successfully treated by endovascular embolization. A 38-year old woman who underwent brachial artery ligation for a ruptured aneurysm was diagnosed postoperatively with vEDS. Impending rupture of a collateral artery aneurysm was encountered 5 months after the initial open surgery. Endovascular embolization with a liquid embolic agent was successfully performed. Given that arterial rupture can occur repeatedly in patients with vEDS, careful life-long follow-up is necessary.
