DiscussionSeveral studies had been conducted to determine survival and event-free survival in patients with Marfan syndrome. 3, 4 They showed that at least 34% of patients with Marfan syndrome will have serious cardiovascular complications requiring major cardiac surgery in the first 10 years after diagnosis. The predominant cardiovascular manifestation of the Marfan syndrome affect the aortic root and ascending aorta counting for 82% overall mortality in these patients. Recent reports emphasized the importance of prophylactic replacement of the aortic root in these patients, which improves 10-year survival to 97% compared with 34% in patients who did not undergo surgical intervention. 3 Recurrent evaluation of the entire aorta in short intervals remains the mainstay of follow-up investigations in patients with Marfan syndrome. However, in a few patients, such as the one presented here, aneurysms also develop in aortic branches. 3, 4 The possibility of aneurysms developing in aortic branches, as in the subclavian or carotid arteries in patients with Marfan syndrome, strongly suggests the importance of close observation not only of the aorta but also of the visceral and supra-aortic branches.
