Abstract

Management of Marfan syndrome and its complications during pregnancy requires a multidisciplinary approach to minimize adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. We present 2 cases to highlight the key considerations and management strategies addressed by the pregnancy heart team for patients with Marfan syndrome with and without chronic dissection.
