Prophilactic aortic-root reconstruction in Marfan syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The type “A” aortic dissection (AAD) is a dangerous acute complication of the Marfan syndrome. Not only the native outcome of the AAD is life threatening, but even the surgical treatment of this complication is risky. Despite the improving surgical experience and the more effective cerebral and myocardial protection the lethality of the surgical treatment of AAD at Marfan patients is still high as 10-15 percent. Out of this reasons all the possible medical efforts should be taken to prevent the occurrence of this complication.

Repeat Operation for Pseudoaneurysm of Left Ventricular Outflow in a Patient with Concomitant Takayasu's Arteritis and Marfan Syndrome.
We describe concomitant Marfan syndrome and Takayasu's arteritis complicating a pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricular outflow that developed after aortic root reconstruction. A patient was admitted with a high fever four months after initial root reconstruction that included valve sparing (reimplantation) as well as coronary artery reconstruction using a Carrel's button technique. Computed tom...

OBJECTIVE To assess and measure the diagnostic and prognostic value of individual aortic root growth in children and adolescents with Marfan syndrome. DESIGN From 1983 to 1996, 250 children were screened for Marfan syndrome. Serial echocardiographic aortic root measurements of 123 children (57 Marfan, 66 control) were available for evaluation of aortic root growth. Aortic root diameters were ...

Two patients suffered from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) resulting from occlusion of left coronary perfusion graft limb after aortic root reconstruction by Cabrol or modified Cabrol technique. A 34-year-old male patient with Marfan syndrome received aortic root reconstruction by modified Cabrol technique due to aortic root aneurysm and acute type A aortic dissection. AMI occurred 3 months a...
