or

27460 the veteran has had Marfan syndrome at some time.

or

27462 the veteran has suffered from cystic medial necrosis at some time.

13734 the identified illness or injury, a connective tissue disorder or fibromuscular dysplasia, involved the affected segment of the artery.

13735 — the veteran has established the causal connection between fibromuscular dysplasia or a connective tissue disorder and VEA service for carotid arterial disease.

13742

the veteran was suffering from the identified illness or injury, a connective tissue disorder or fibromuscular dysplasia involving the affected segment of the artery, at the time of the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

13736 — the veteran has established the causal connection between fibromuscular dysplasia or a connective tissue disorder and VEA service for the clinical onset of carotid arterial disease.

13738 — the veteran has established the causal connection between fibromuscular dysplasia or a connective tissue disorder and operational service for the clinical onset of carotid arterial disease.

or

13739 — the veteran has established the causal connection between fibromuscular dysplasia or a connective tissue disorder and eligible service for the clinical onset of carotid arterial disease.

or

7334

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service.

7335

the condition under consideration permanently worsened.

13743

the veteran was suffering from the identified illness or injury, a connective tissue disorder or fibromuscular dysplasia involving the affected segment of the artery, at the time of the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

13737 — the veteran has established the causal connection between fibromuscular dysplasia or a connective tissue disorder and VEA service for the clinical worsening of carotid arterial disease.

13740 — the veteran has established the causal connection between fibromuscular dysplasia or a connective tissue disorder and operational service for the clinical worsening of carotid arterial disease.

or

13741 — the veteran has established the causal connection between fibromuscular dysplasia or a connective tissue disorder and eligible service for the clinical worsening of carotid arterial disease.

Clinical onset and operational service [13738]

13744 — the identified illness or injury, a connective tissue disorder or fibromuscular dysplasia involving the affected segment of the artery, is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [13739]

13745 — the identified illness or injury, a connective tissue disorder or fibromuscular dysplasia involving the affected segment of the artery, is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [13740]

13744 — the identified illness or injury, a connective tissue disorder or fibromuscular dysplasia involving the affected segment of the artery, is causally related to operational service.

13746

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury, a connective tissue disorder or fibromuscular dysplasia involving the affected segment of the artery, is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [13741]

13745 — the identified illness or injury, a connective tissue disorder or fibromuscular dysplasia involving the affected segment of the artery, is causally related to eligible service.

13747

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury, a connective tissue disorder or fibromuscular dysplasia involving the affected segment of the artery, is causally related.
