Implication

Supports lifelong surveillance after root replacement in Marfan syndrome; extends observational data but remains hypothesis-generating for optimal protocols.

Structured PICO

Population

71 Marfan patients (mean age 29+/-17 years, range 8-65 years) receiving first surgical treatment, including 22 patients (31%) presenting with acute aortic dissection.

Intervention

Initial cardiovascular surgery, primarily aortic root repair or replacement (composite graft replacement in 85%, aortic valve sparing root repair in 7 patients).

Outcome

Incidence of cardiovascular lesions, reoperations, and clinical follow-up outcomes (mortality and morbidity) after initial surgery.hard clinical

Marfan patients require close lifelong clinical and imaging follow-up after initial aortic root surgery due to a high risk of reoperations, particularly in those presenting with acute dissection, and the risk of fatal rupture even in normal-sized aortic segments.
