Many of the physical findings typical in Loeys Dietz syndrome are also found in Marfan syndrome cases, including increased risk of ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, abnormally long limbs and fingers, and dural ectasia ( a gradual stretching and weakening of the dura mater that can cause abdominal and leg pain ).

As a method of treating the underlying disease and reversing the damage that has previously occurred, Cohen began performing corneal collagen cross linking combined with topography guided excimer laser ablations in 2009 . Based on the results of these treatments, he developed the Montreal Protocol, a standardized method to treat keratoconus and post-op ectasia, which is now used in over 15 Canadian cities.
