Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a recently described connective tissue disorder characterized by generalized arterial tortuosity and aggressive aortopathy that untreated leads to early death even at aortic dimensions as small as 4 cm. We report the case of a young man with LDS successfully treated for aortic root, arch, and thoracoabdominal pathology.
洛伊迪茨综合征(LDS)是一种最近才被描述的结缔组织疾病,其特征为全身性动脉迂曲和侵袭性主动脉病变,未经治疗即使在主动脉直径小至4厘米时也会导致早期死亡。我们报告了一例患有LDS的年轻男性,其主动脉根部、主动脉弓及胸腹段病变均得到成功治疗。
