A member asked:
Burst aneurysm in grandpa's leg at age 75. dr just found aortic aneurysm at 87. is this common at these ages or suggestive of ehlers danlos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common with HTN: Rare to see Ehlers-Danlos in that age range especially vascular type. Much more likely related to more common risk factors like high blood pressure, smoking, elevated cholesterol etc.
