Management and Outcomes of Aortic Dissection in Pregnancy with Marfan syndrome: A Systematic Review.

CONCLUSIONS: Women with MFS are at high risk of aortic dissection during pregnancy and women with aortic root 41-45 mm should consider avoiding pregnancy. Guideline-specific management of aortic aneurysms in pregnancy will reduce the risk of dissection. Diagnosis and Management of MFS needs a multidisciplinary approach and team that should start working early in pregnancy. Further studies are needed to optimize medical and surgical approaches in addition to preconception counselling in high risk subjects. PMID: 30963974 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
