Saccular aneurysm within a persistent ductus arteriosus

A recently discovered syndromic form of aortic aneurysms and dissections with early-onset osteoarthritis, caused by pathogenic SMAD3 mutations, is characterised by aneurysms, dissections, and tortuosity throughout the arterial tree, predominantly in the aortic root.1 In our case, CT angiography was...

Zusammenfassung:	A recently discovered syndromic form of aortic aneurysms and dissections with early-onset osteoarthritis, caused by pathogenic SMAD3 mutations, is characterised by aneurysms, dissections, and tortuosity throughout the arterial tree, predominantly in the aortic root.1 In our case, CT angiography was a useful screening method.
