  • Title: Surgery of Marfan's syndrome and related conditions of the aortic root (annulo-aortic ectasia).
    Author: Ross DN, Frazier TG, Gonzalez-Lavin L.
    Journal: Thorax; 1972 Jan; 27(1):52-7. PubMed ID: 4259612.
    Abstract:
    The surgical treatment of 14 patients with annulo-aortic ectasia and aortic valve regurgitation secondary to cystic medial necrosis is presented. Resection of the aneurysm and replacement with a tubular graft, and aortic valve replacement with a rigid prosthesis, are advocated for definitive treatment. Eighty-six per cent of the patients survive and are doing well six months to four and a half years after surgery.
