Endovascular Repair of Dissecting Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm in a Patient With Turner Syndrome

Abstract: Although cardiovascular malformations are common in patients with Turner syndrome, dissecting thoracic aortic aneurysm is unusual. Stent-graft repair would appear to be feasible in this situation, but long-term implantation in young patients has not been explored.

“…Despite these concerns, our experience has shown more than 15 years of favorable outcome in our fi rst patients treated with an endovascular aortic repair procedure in the early 2000s. Additionally, we published the case of a young woman affected by Turner syndrome resulting in aortic aneurysm treated with stent-graft implantation, who has had an absolutely uneventful follow-up for more than 10 years thus far [28].…”

“…Transoesophageal echocardiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging [14], videofluoroscopic swallowing study [66], and oesophagogram [95] may reveal the nature of oesophageal compressions. Immediate aortic surgery [14] or stent graft insertion with total exclusion and shrinkage of the aneurysm may relieve the patient's symptom [82]. Expeditious endovascular stent graft exclusion of the aneurysm is indicated because of its symptomatic nature and high propensity of spontaneous rupture [57].…”
