| Popis: | Ehlers–Danlos syndrome type IV (EDS-IV), the vascular type, is a rare genetic disorder affects the large and medium size arteries resulting in dissections, often with aneurysmal degeneration, intramural hematomas and pseudoaneurysms. Embolization or ligation is standard management for aneurysm formation. We present a case of an EDS-IV patient with a posterior tibial artery dissection with associated aneurysm successfully treated with Flow Diversion stent (FDS) preserving vessel patency and excluding the aneurysm. FDS technology allows for low profile, micro-catheter deliverable treatment options to exclude aneurysms in EDS-IV patients that are may be prone to spasm and dissection using more conventional stent graft technology. |
