Abstract
- We successfully performed bleeding control using roll-gauze packing in a patient with Type IV Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and this patient was suffering from spontaneous hemothorax. Thoracotomy for controlling ongoing bleeding in a patient with Type IV Ehlers-Danlos syndrome should be performed as a last resort after due consideration.
