Pregnancy following personalised aortic root support in Marfan syndrome

Résumé fourni par la source

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is linked with adverse pregnancy events, one of the most significant being aortic dissection. We present a case of a woman with MFS with prior aortic root dilatation who opted for a Personalised External Aortic Root Support (PEARS). To date, she is only the fifth woman to have had this valve-sparing procedure prior to pregnancy. We outline her care in a tertiary centre with multidisciplinary expertise, from preconception through to the postpartum period.
