| Description: | aorta at surgery in a Marfan patient with aortic dilatation | ||||
| Comments: | The most progressive cardiac lesion in Marfan syndrome is dilatation of the aorta, beginning at the aortic valve, and usually confined to the ascending portion. The valve ring is stretched resulting in severe aortic insufficiency. Dissecting aneurysm of the aorta with medial cystic necrosis and the development of aortic valvular incompetence may result in sudden death. | ||||
