True Aneurysm of the Left Main Trunk in a Marfan Syndrome Patient at Remote Period after Bentall Operation and Total Arch Replacement: A Case Report.

True Aneurysm of the Left Main Trunk in a Marfan Syndrome Patient at Remote Period after Bentall Operation and Total Arch Replacement: A Case Report. Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2019 May 09;: Authors: Yoshimura K, Tanaka H, Wada T, Shuto T, Kawano M, Anai H, Miyamoto S Abstract In 2002, a 37-year-old male with Marfan syndrome underwent the Bentall operation, total arch replacement, and aortobifemoral bypass for DeBakey type IIIb chronic aortic dissection, annuloaortic ectasia, and aortic regurgitation. In 2007, mild mitral regurgitation (MR) caused by mitral valve prolapse was identified. In April 2017, echocardiography revealed the worsening of MR and moderate tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Moreover, coronary angiography (CAG) revealed a coronary artery aneurysm in the left main trunk (LMT). In August 2017, the patient underwent mitral valve replacement (MVR), tricuspid annuloplasty (TAP), and coronary artery reconstruction. We reconstructed the LMT aneurysm using an artificial graft. True aneurysm of the coronary artery complicated with Marfan syndrome is a rare complication that has seldom been reported. This case highlights that it is essential to carefully follow-up patients with Marfan syndrome after the Bentall operation. PMID: 31068502 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
