Abstract
We report the 10-year surgical course of a 27-year-old young woman who underwent two surgeries s after being diagnosed with Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS). As previously reported, this case showed ectopic arterial enlargement, and we can follow its temporal changes over a 10-year period. We described computed tomography (CT) changes over time and the appearance and pathology findings in surgery.
