Those with blood vessel fragility, though, have a high risk of fatal complications, including spontaneous arterial rupture, which is the most common cause of sudden death. The median life expectancy in the population with vascular EDS is 48 years. [131]
As people with Marfan syndrome live longer, other vascular repairs are becoming more common, e.g., repairs of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms and aneurysms of vessels other than the aorta. [citation needed] The skeletal and ocular manifestations of Marfan syndrome can also be serious, although not life-threatening.
Arterial stiffness occurs as a consequence of biological aging, arteriosclerosis and genetic disorders, such as Marfan, Williams, and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes. [1] Inflammation plays a major role in arteriosclerosis and arterial stiffness. [2]

A number of conditions can feature dysautonomia, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, [6] Ehlers–Danlos syndromes, [7] autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy and autonomic neuropathy, [8] HIV/AIDS, [9] mitochondrial cytopathy, [10] pure autonomic failure, autism, and postural orthostatic tachycardia ...
The vascular subtype of Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome (type IV) has been associated with multi-focal FMD. This syndrome may be suspected in patients with multiple aneurysms and/or tears (dissections) in arteries, in addition to the typical angiographic findings of FMD.
Craniocervical instability is more common in people with a connective tissue disease, including Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, [1] osteogenesis imperfecta, and rheumatoid arthritis. [2] It is frequently co-morbid with atlanto-axial joint instability, Chiari malformation , [ 3 ] or tethered spinal cord syndrome .
