Endovascular repair of a common iliac artery aneurysm with an iliac branch device in a patient with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome due to a null COL3A1 variant

Endovascular repair is avoided in patients with connective tissues disorders due to concerns for stent graft migration and endoleaks. We describe a successful endovascular repair of a common iliac artery aneurysm with a bifurcated aortoiliac stent graft and iliac branch endoprosthesis in a patient with Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (VEDS) due to a null COL3A1 variant. This case demonstrates that the VEDS genotype is associated with tissue integrity, specifically, individuals with VEDS due to null/haploinsufficiency variants, and adds to our understanding of endovascular repair in this population.
