Background

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a heritable type I collagen disorder, with aortic dissection a recognized complication.

Results

aortic diameter shrank without surgery, favorable remodeling despite the collagen defect

Initial

4.2cm

12 months

3.2cm

More results

A 69-year-old man with osteogenesis imperfecta presented with acute uncomplicated type B aortic dissection with a thrombosed false lumen, managed with anti-impulse therapy targeting systolic blood pressure < 120 mm Hg and heart rate < 70 beats/min.

“

Conclusion

This favorable remodeling is notable given the underlying collagen disorder, where tissue fragility raises concerns about impaired healing and aortic integrity.
