Background: Aortic dissections involving the descending aorta are a major clinical problem
in patients with Marfan syndrome. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify …

Objectives Among the parameters for surveillance of patients at risk of acute type A aortic
dissection, the aortic size has been considered a cardinal factor. Preventive surgery of the …

Aims To better characterize patients with Marfan syndrome who have survived an acute
aortic dissection and to estimate the risks of events in the descending aorta. Up until now …

Background—Optimal management, including timing of surgery, remains debated in Marfan
syndrome because of a lack of data on aortic risk associated with this disease. Methods and …

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 Marfan syndrome is associated with morbidity and mortality due to aortic
dilatation and dissection. Preventive aortic root replacement has been the standard …

Background The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk of aortic events (death,
dissection, or aortic rupture) associated with Marfan syndrome and decide on the optimal …

Background Aortic dissection is one of the most lethal potential complications in patients
with the Marfan syndrome. Methods and results Among 360 patients undergoing operative …

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 …

Objectives. The present study examines the incidence of aortic complications (dissection,
marked dilation requiring surgery or progressive moderate to severe aortic regurgitation) …
