HOW ARE THEY CONNECTED?

For some, especially Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome patients and ones with a spectrum of connective tissue disorders, their chance of having more than one vascular compression syndrome is substantially raised. Therefore it is important to consider other vascular compressions that may co-exist based on the presenting symptoms. Having a big picture understanding of your vascular compression syndromes becomes critical when prioritizing and planning for surgery so that piecemeal or suboptimal therapies can be avoided.
