Long-Term Results of Aortic Root Surgery in Marfan Syndrome Patients: A Single-Center Experience.

CONCLUSIONS: The Bentall and David operations are both associated with satisfactory long-term results in MFS patients. The low rate of valve prosthesis-related complications suggested that the Bentall operation would continue to be a standard surgical treatment. The reimplantation technique, adopted for less-dilated aortas, provides satisfactory freedom from reoperation. Careful attention should be paid to the reimplantation technique in patients affected by a serious familiar genetic phenotype. PMID: 29302938 [PubMed - in process]
