Successful Coronary Artery Bypass in Ehlers-Danlos Type IV Syndrome Case Report and Review of the Literature
source: Texas Heart Institute Journal
year: 2012
authors: Sherif HM, Blackwell RA
summary/abstract:Atherosclerotic coronary artery occlusive disease is very rare in cases of Ehlers-Danlos type IV syndrome. We report what we believe is a unique case of successful coronary artery bypass grafting for atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in a patient with this syndrome and examine the possible implications for the natural progression of the disease through a review of the literature. Nevertheless, we reiterate previous investigators’ advice that any invasive procedure on these patients should be approached with extreme caution and that surgery should be performed as a last resort, considering the significantly elevated risks.
