Key result
Cardiovascular rehabilitation follows a Bentall procedure for aortic dissection in a young Marfan syndrome patient.
Why the study?
Marfan syndrome causes multisystemic connective tissue changes, including cardiovascular complications requiring rehabilitation after surgical intervention.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Presents a clinical case detailing cardiovascular rehabilitation in a young patient with Marfan syndrome following a Bentall procedure for aortic dissection.
Supports individualized rehab planning in rare young Marfan cases post-Bentall; leaves open efficacy and safety in broader populations.
Marfan syndrome is a genetic connective tissue disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance, caused by a mutation in the gene encoding for fibrillin 1 (FBN1), located on chromosome 15. This mutation causes excessive secretion of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), causing changes in connective tissue throughout the body - multisystemic disease (especially affecting the eye, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal level). We hereby present the case of a 24-year-old male patient, diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, that was admitted in the Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Clinic of the Clinical Rehabilitation Hospital from Iași, Romania, for cardiovascular recovery after a surgical intervention for aortic dissection, performed through the Bentall procedure.

Maria-Magdalena et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Marfan syndrome (n=1). Cardiovascular rehabilitation was evaluated. A 24-year-old male with Marfan syndrome underwent cardiovascular rehabilitation following a Bentall procedure for aortic dissection.
