Multicenter StudyStent grafting of dissected descending aorta in patients with Marfan's syndrome: mid-term results.
This study sought to assess the safety and the effectiveness of endovascular stent grafting of chronic aortic dissection (AD) in Marfan patients. ⋯ Endovascular stent grafting of the dissected DTA is feasible in selected Marfan patients with low mortality and morbidity rates. Nevertheless, the rate of primary and secondary endoleak is high. Close imaging surveillance is crucial to detect secondary aortic complications and to assess long-term results.
