The authors report a case of coronary arteriomegaly in a patient with

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and multiple aneurysms who presented with myocardial

infarction. Coronary arteriography revealed distal " pruning " of vessels

without occlusive disease. Fibroblast cultures excluded Ehlers-Danlos

syndrome types IV and VII. Literature review suggests this may represent a

previously unidentified vascular syndrome.
