Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting the connective tissue, often leading to aortic root dilation, aneurysm, and dissection. We report on a 35-year-old Bangladeshi female patient with MFS who presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and a significant aortic root aneurysm, along with a reduced ejection fraction (EF) of 20%-25%. Imaging confirmed significant aortic dilation, and due to the high risk of mortality, an urgent Bentall procedure was performed. Postoperatively, the patient had an EF of 25% and was doing well at discharge. Timely Bentall procedure in MFS with severe aortic root dilation and reduced EF is critical for improving outcomes and reducing morbidity and mortality.
马凡综合征(MFS)是一种常染色体显性疾病,会影响结缔组织,常导致主动脉根部扩张、动脉瘤和夹层形成。我们报告了一名35岁患有马凡综合征的孟加拉女性患者,她出现胸痛、呼吸急促以及显著的主动脉根部动脉瘤,同时射血分数(EF)降低至20%-25%。影像学检查证实主动脉明显扩张,由于死亡风险高,遂紧急进行了Bentall手术。术后,患者的射血分数为25%,出院时情况良好。对于患有严重主动脉根部扩张且射血分数降低的马凡综合征患者,及时进行Bentall手术对于改善预后、降低发病率和死亡率至关重要。
