A Complex Thoracoabdominal Aneurysm in a Loeys-Dietz Patient: An Open, Hybrid, Anatomic Repair

Loeys–Dietz syndrome: a primer for diagnosis and management

“…With the likelihood of repeat surgeries, preference should be given to uncovered stents or bare metal stents because some stent types may cause complications in future surgeries, for example, deformation during cross-clamping. 40 …”

Endovascular Repair of Bilateral Iliac Artery Aneurysms in a Patient With Loeys–Dietz Syndrome

“…To date, as far as stent-grafting for aneurysm exclusion, there is only one previous report of a thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) placement in a patient with LDS, which ultimately required open surgical conversion within the first year because of pseudoaneurysm formation. 9 No abdominal EVAR cases in LDS patients have been reported until this case report.…”

Endovascular repair of an internal mammary artery aneurysm in a patient with Loeys-Dietz syndrome

“…While controversy exists over the role of endovascular interventions in Marfan syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, 18,19 the literature has shown promising results for hybrid interventions in aortic aneurysms and dissections in patients with LDS. [20][21][22] Marine et al report a glue embolus complication for a peripheral endovascular intervention in LDS with otherwise satisfactory results. 23 The appropriate selection of interventions remains key, as arterial tortuosity may preclude an endovascular intervention, and proper diagnosis remains essential to avoid selecting inappropriate interventions in patients with connective tissue diseases that may phenotypically mimic more common connective tissue diseases.…”
