Objectives Aim of this study was to assess vascular morphology and dimension of the entire
aorta and branch vessels in MFS using thoracoabdominal MR angiography (MRA) …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the fate of nonaortic arterial segments in
patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS). Methods This was a retrospective analysis of 100 …

Objective: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a connective tissue disorder associated with severe
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is unknown if aorta complications in MFS are …

PURPOSE: To determine the natural history of vasculopathy of the thoracoabdominal aorta
in patients with Marfan syndrome after composite graft repair of the aortic root. MATERIALS …

Objectives Patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) are prone to develop aortic aneurysms due
to fragmentation of elastic fibres, resulting in reduced distensibility of the aorta. Reduced …

The clinical presentation of arachnodactyly, better known as Marfan syndrome, has been
recognized for almost 100 years, but it is only relatively recent that McKusick (4) described …

Methods The study population consisted of 120 consecutive Marfan patients referred to our
centre between January 2003 and June 2007 including 77 males (64%) and 43 females …

Objective: To investigate dilatory changes of the aorta distal to the root in patients with
Marfan's syndrome. Methods and results: Data of 268 patients with Marfan's syndrome who …

Background To identify magnetic resonance (MR) angiography derived predictors of
progressive dilatation and surgery of the aortic root in Marfan syndrome. Material and …

Abstract Aim Patients with Marfan syndrome may develop dissection due to progressive
dilatation in the entire aorta, which is not always predictable by mere anatomic assessment …
