OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of Stanford type B aortic
dissection in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and to evaluate aortic diameters at time …

Background—Data on outcomes after Stanford type A aortic dissection in patients with
Marfan syndrome are limited. We investigated the primary surgery and long-term results in …

Background With preventive aortic grafting decreasing the incidence of type A dissections in
Marfan syndrome (MFS), most dissections are now type B, for which risk factors remain …

AIM: To evaluate the evolution of surgical management in a large population of patients with
Marfan syndrome. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of patients fulfilling the Ghent …

Background We seek to report the long-term outcomes of the total arch replacement and
frozen elephant trunk (TAR+ FET) technique for type A aortic dissection (TAAD) following …

Among the cardiovascular manifestations in the Marfan syndrome (MFS), aortic dissection
stands out as a major cause of early mortality. The aim of this study was to test the …

In their study [1], Yildiz et al. shed light on the outcomes of type B aortic dissection (TBAD) in
patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) treated at a prominent interdisciplinary centre. The …

Findings in 54 patients (mean age 39 years, range 18-66 years, 25% female) were
analyzed. Of these patients, 21 had dissection of the ascending aorta (15 acute and 6 …

Background—The aim of the current study was to investigate incidence and causes of
surgical interventions in primarily nontreated aortic segments after previous aortic repair in …

Background According to previous studies, aortic diameter alone seems to be insufficient to
predict the event of aortic dissection in Marfan syndrome (MFS). Determining the optimal …
