Would it be worthwhile to have an MRA test done to try to spotlight any potential arterial problems |

This is a question that is begging for an answer. The biggest question
that arises is--if something is found does that mean that it would or
should be repaired. Given the delicacy of blood vessels in people with
the vascular form of EDS, the answer to this is we do not know. Would
it help in predicting places most likely to be the source of trouble if
you have a sudden event? Again, it is not currently known if ruptures
occur at known aneurysm sites or in other areas. These are questions
that need to be answered by detailed studies of people with vascular
EDS. Taken from EDNF board - answered by Peter Byers, MD and Melanie
