Zusammenfassung:Abstract We report a case of a fatal retrograde Type A aortic dissection following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The patient was diagnosed with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) only postoperatively, which is a relative contraindication for TEVAR. The patient had no major or minor criteria for vEDS. This case report emphasizes pitfalls of TEVAR in patients with a connective tissue disorder.
