management of patients with vascular ehlers-danlos syndrome and acute coronary syndrome: a case report

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.
