[Spontaneous rupture of subclavian artery disclosing Ehlers-Danlos disease. A case].
The authors report the case of a 30-year old man who suffered spontaneous rupture of the right subclavian artery. Treatment consisted of carotid-axillary graft since the fragility of the vessel precluded direct suture. The clinical symptoms, together with histological and ultrastructural examinations led to a diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with purely arterial manifestations.
