  • Title: Surgical treatment of the dilated aortic root in a child with Marfan's syndrome.
    Author: Modry DL, Limacher J, Dobell AR.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1981 Sep; 24(5):500-2. PubMed ID: 7284912.
    Abstract:
    Life-threatening cardiovascular manifestations of Marfan's syndrome are rare in young children. The authors report the case of a 4 1/2-year-old girl with Marfan's syndrome who had a large aneurysm of the ascending aortic valve replaced and both coronary arteries implanted into a prosthetic graft (Bentall's procedure). Other published reports of children with aortic aneurysms due to Marfan's syndrome are reviewed.
