Popis:	Patients affected by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) type IV are at risk for aneurysm formation and rupture. This case report shows the extreme vascular fragility of these patients. We studied a 31-year-old man that developed hepatic artery aneurysms 3 weeks after splenectomy. Computed tomography angiography showed the extreme vascular remodeling of the aneurysms. We conclude that remote site complications should be kept in mind by all surgeons in vascular EDS patients even after general surgery operations.
