Purpose: To explore the safety and feasibility of stent-graft placement in the dissected
descending thoracic aorta of patients with Marfan syndrome. Methods: Six consecutive …

OBJECTIVE: Aneurysms or dissections can involve multiple aortic segments in patients with
Marfan syndrome, requiring staged replacement of the entire aorta. The optimal treatment of …

INTRODUCTION: Marfan syndrome patients are prone to aortic dilatation, dissection, and
rupture. Success of aortic root replacement has generated a cohort of patients surviving …

The frequency of endovascular stent grafting procedures to treat various conditions of the
thoracic aorta has increased dramatically over the past three decades. Stent grafting has …

Marfan syndrome is the most frequently inherited disorder of connective tissue and is
strongly associated with aortic dilatation, dissection, and rupture; in these patients, type B …

Objectives: This study sought to assess the safety and the effectiveness of endovascular
stent grafting of chronic aortic dissection (AD) in Marfan patients. Background: The …

BACKGROUND: In patients with Marfan syndrome, the complications of aortic degeneration,
including dissection, aneurysm, and rupture represent the main cause of mortality. Although …

The Marfan syndrome is a heritable disorder of the connective tissue which affects the
cardiovascular, ocular, and skeletal system. The cardiovascular manifestation with aortic …

Over the last decades, improvement of medical and surgical therapy has increased life
expectancy in Marfan patients. Consequently, the number of such patients requiring …

Objective In Marfan syndrome (MFS) patients, endovascular repair carries a risk of aortic
wall injury, which may result in retrograde aortic dissection, dilatation, or false aneurysm at …
