Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a recently described connective tissue disorder characterized by generalized arterial tortuosity and aggressive aortopathy that untreated leads to early death even at aortic dimensions as small as 4 cm. We report the case of a young man with LDS successfully treated for aortic root, arch, and thoracoabdominal pathology.
