Abstract:
We report 2 cases of aortic disease with Marfan syndrome underwent surgery. Case 1 was 38-years-old man and case 2 was 36-years-old woman. They were brothers and they had 8 times operation for 13 years. Surgical procedure included aortic root reconstruction, descending aortic aneurysm repair and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Patients with Marfan syndrome sometimes require repeated surgical repair of aortic disease.

01:26Mitral Stenosis III: Medical Management
Mitral stenosis, a condition marked by the narrowing of the mitral valve, necessitates an integrated approach for effective management. This approach includes preventative measures, medical therapy, and surgical interventions to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.PreventionPrevention of mitral stenosis primarily focuses on reducing the incidence of bacterial infections, particularly streptococcal infections, which can lead to rheumatic fever and subsequent valvular damage.

01:26Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...
