Valve-Sparing Replacement of the Aortic Root for a 2-year-old Child with Loeys-Dietz Syndrome
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 October 2009
Abstract
Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a newly recognized constellation that presents with aortic aneurysm or dissection similar to Marfan’s syndrome. We describe successful surgical treatment in a 2-year-old with the syndrome in whom we performed a valve-sparing replacement of the aortic root because of significant dilation of the aortic root and the ascending aorta.
