We report a case of a female patient with Marfan syndrome who suffered a type A acute aortic dissection eleven years ago. At that time she underwent supracoronary ascending aortic grafting and resuspension of the incompetent aortic valve. Recently this patient presented to us with uncontrolled hypertension and a transthoracic echocardiographic study revealed severe dilatation of the sinuses of Valsalva. She required reoperation and a Bentall procedure was performed. Surgical treatment of the Marfan syndrome is discussed.Downloads
