Abstract We herein report the 10-year surgical course of a 27-year-old woman who underwent two surgeries after being diagnosed with Loeys-Dietz syndrome. As described in previous cases, this patient developed ectopic arterial enlargement. We followed her temporal changes over a 10-year period, including the changes in computed tomography, pathology, and surgery.
