Popis: Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder that can result in significant morbidity and mortality. This report details an iatrogenic aortic rupture during an endovascular approach in the management of critical limb ischemia in a 27-year-old woman who presented with acute onset of severe sensory deficit of the left leg. Conversion to open repair with a midline laparotomy and an aortic-left popliteal bypass was performed. In the endovascular era, we highlight that even minimally invasive therapeutic interventions can have devastating adverse events in patients with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
