Aortendissektion in der Gravidität bei Marfan-Syndrom - Fallbericht und Behandlungskonzept1

Abstract

The criteria of a dilatation of the aorta ascendens < 40 mm does not identify reliably those patients who are at risk of dissection during pregnancy. A interdisciplinary approach together with obstetricians, cardiologists and cardiac surgeons is mandatory in all cases of Marfan syndrome and pregnancy.
