Marfan's syndrome presenting as a type 3 aortic dissection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
(2) Is the risk of proximal dissection high enough to warrant prophylactic repair before clinically significant aortic insufficiency occurs? (3) If surgery is not warranted now, what indication should be used to determine appropriate timing of surgery (ie, aortic regurgitation by clinical examination, symptomatic aortic regurgitation, signs of congestive heart failure)? (4) How common is a type 3 aortic dissection in Marfan’s syndrome? How does this affect overall survival?
