Metachronous bilateral posterior tibial artery aneurysms in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV

Klaus D Hagspiel et al. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2011 Apr.

Abstract

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV is a life-threatening genetic connective tissue disorder. We report a 24-year-old woman with EDS-IV who presented with metachronous bilateral aneurysms/pseudoaneurysms of the posterior tibial arteries 15 months apart. Both were treated successfully with transarterial coil embolization from a distal posterior tibial approach.
