    AbstractA 61-year-old man presented with an acute type B aortic dissection for which a stent-graft was introduced. He remains complication-free 4 years onwards and has since been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV (EDS IV). His particular mutation is predicted to result in lesser levels of normal collagen and may explain his favourable outcome from endovascular intervention. Understanding the genotype-phenotype correlation may influence the choice of therapy offered to patients with EDS IV.
