- Abstract
- Clinical vignette : A 36-year-old female with Marfan syndrome underwent aortic root replacement with the Yacoub (remodeling)-procedure for a root aneurysm at age 12. She returned 24 years later with recurrent severe aortic root dilation of 61 mm, and aortic annular enlargement of 35 mm, with moderate aortic regurgitation of her native aortic valve. Her left ventricular ejection fraction was mildly depressed at 45–50%. She also presented with moderate mitral regurgitation from an anterior mitral valve prolapse. [...]
