Increased TGF-β level confirms that CeAD patients have connective tissue disorder that underlies the arterial wall weakness. A higher TGF-β level at 2-3 months of CeAD seems to be connected with an active reparative process in arterial wall after dissection. TGF-β can be used as a biomarker of connective tissue dysplasia in patients with CeAD.
