Abstract
Background: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a hereditary collagen vascular disorder characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. Vascular EDS (vEDS) is a subtype of EDS which is characterized by vascular fragility.
Case presentation: This is a case report of a young man with vEDS hospitalized for myocardial infarction. He was presented with a coronary dissection and developed aortic dissection, coronary rupture, and cardiac tamponade until death.
Conclusion: This case report highlights how patients with vEDS and acute coronary syndrome show a higher risk of vascular complications compared with other patients, and their admission to the institution with a cardiac surgery room could be helpful and safe for better management of the complications. Non-invasive methods could be useful to exclude other vascular diseases, before the emergency coronary intervention.
