Alerts to iatrogenic aortic dissection risk during cannulation in Marfan syndrome; leaves open optimal surgical strategies for connective tissue disorders.
We report a case of newly developed aortic dissection after aorta cannulation during mitral valve surgery in a patient with Marfan syndrome. An unexpected fatal complication of cardiac surgery detected on postoperative imaging survey in Marfan syndrome patient and its surgical finding are described.

Moon et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Marfan syndrome with severe mitral regurgitation (n=1). Aorta cannulation during mitral valve surgery was evaluated on Development of aortic dissection. A 61-year-old woman with Marfan syndrome developed an acute Stanford type A aortic dissection one day after undergoing aorta cannulation for mitral valve surgery.
