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.
