Abstract:
Marfan syndrome is a heritable disorder of connective tissue leading to aortic aneurysms and other cardiovascular complications associated with reduced life expectancy. Although contemporary management of ascending aortic disease requires open surgical reconstruction, the combined retrograde visceral revascularization and endovascular exclusion (hybrid procedure) of entire thoracoabdominal aorta has been introduced for the management of descending thoracic and abdominal aortic pathology. The present experience reports 2 cases of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, in Marfan patients, previously submitted to major cardiovascular surgical procedures, through a hybrid approach.
