May support supervised early cesarean in Loeys-Dietz pregnancies; leaves open prospective validation of outcome benefits.
Gutman et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Loeys-Dietz syndrome (n=1). Cesarean section was evaluated. Early delivery by cesarean section at 34 weeks allowed a pregnant woman with Loeys-Dietz syndrome and a novel TGF-beta-R2 mutation to deliver successfully without adverse effects.
