OBJECTIVE To evaluate survival and complication free survival in patients with Marfan's
syndrome and to assess the possible influence of recently revised guidelines for …

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 usefulness of aortic valve sparing operations to treat aortic root aneurysm
in patients with Marfan syndrome (MS) remains controversial. Objectives The purpose of this …

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine clinical and echocardiographic
predictors of outcome in a cohort of patients with Marfan's syndrome. BACKGROUND: Serial …

Background Cardiovascular complications account for a significant proportion of the
shortened lifespan of Marfan syndrome (MFS) patients, with aortic dissection being the most …

Aims The main aim of this study was to describe the age at which pathological aortic root
dilation occurs in patients with Marfan's syndrome (MFS). Methods and results A total of 160 …

Background Replacement of the aortic root with a prosthetic graft and valve in patients with
Marfan's syndrome may prevent premature death from rupture of an aneurysm or aortic …

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: In many cardiac units, aortic valve-sparing operations have become the
preferred surgical procedure to treat aortic root aneurysm in patients with Marfan syndrome …

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 …
