Total Aortic and Branches Repair with Hybrid Therapy in the setting of Marfan Syndrome: A Case Report

Ann Vasc Surg. 2022 Mar:80:396.e1-396.e5. doi: 10.1016/j.avsg.2021.10.052. Epub 2021 Nov 19.

Abstract

Objective: Currently, no standard treatment has been established for the total lesion in patient with Marfan Syndrome (MFS). This case report aims to present a total aortic and branches repair with hybrid therapy in a young patient with MFS.

Methods: Clinical data including imaging manifestation, surgical document, and follow-up results were retrospectively collected and presented.

Results: A young patient with MFS underwent multi-stage endovascular aortic management and open surgical repair. On-the-table fenestration technique was applied to reconstruct the branches of the abdominal aorta. A bypass from superior mesenteric artery to celiac trunk was performed. A Bentall operation was conducted to repair his ascending aorta and aortic valves. Finally, in situ fenestration technique was adopted to recanalize the branches of aortic arch. The 18 month follow-up computed tomography angiography demonstrated patency of all the aorta branches.

Conclusion: It may be feasible to perform the total aortic and branches repair with hybrid therapy in patients with MFS.
