5/9/2009 Case 4 - Answer


What we see is active extravasation from the distal common iliac artery on the right just above the bifurcation.

Treatment - could include surgery or endovascular stent-graft placement

Interventional techniques are not ideal in Ehlers-Danlos patients as they have a lot of complications but in this emergent case it is acceptable. Endovascular stent-graft was applied.
