Does pregnancy increase the risk of aortic dissection in women with Marfan Syndrome?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Pregnancy in Marfan syndrome is associated with an increased risk of aortic dissection, particularly postpartum, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and counseling.
Pregnancy in MFS is associated with an increased risk of aortic dissection, both types A and B, particularly in the immediate postpartum period. Lack of knowledge of underlying MFS diagnosis before aortic dissection is a major contributing factor. These findings underscore the need for early diagnosis, prepregnancy risk counseling, and multidisciplinary peripartum management.
