| Popis: |
Surgery for vascular complications of a patient with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is challenging due to the fragility of the associated tissues. In this study, we present a type A acute aortic dissection case in a patient with vEDS successfully treated via total arch replacement. A 42-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital 10 days after the onset of symptoms and underwent emergency surgery. Intraoperative findings revealed severe inflammatory changes without tissue fragility that is distinctive of vEDS. The postoperative course was uneventful except for left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, and 24 months after the operation, the patient has remained free from any arterial event. |
