Aorto-aortic bypass in an infant with middle aortic syndrome and Marfan syndrome: a 15-year follow-up

We present a 15-year follow-up after aorto-aortic bypass surgery in a 7-month-old infant with middle aortic syndrome and confirmed Marfan syndrome. In anticipation of her growth, the length of the graft was adjusted to the anticipated length of the narrowed aorta in her adolescence. In addition, her...

Sumario:We present a 15-year follow-up after aorto-aortic bypass surgery in a 7-month-old infant with middle aortic syndrome and confirmed Marfan syndrome. In anticipation of her growth, the length of the graft was adjusted to the anticipated length of the narrowed aorta in her adolescence. In addition, her height was controlled by oestrogen, and her growth was stopped at 178 cm. To date, the patient is free from aortic reoperation and lower limb malperfusion.
