Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
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. |
