This retrospective study attempted to establish the prevalence of multiple-valve involvement in Marfan syndrome and to compare echocardiographic with histopathologic findings in Marfan patients undergoing valvular or aortic surgery. We reviewed echocardiograms of 73 Marfan patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery from January 2004 through October 2009. Tissue histology was available for comparison in 29 patients. Among the 73 patients, 66 underwent aortic valve replacement or the Bentall procedure. Histologic findings were available in 29 patients, all of whom had myxomatous degeneration. Of 63 patients with moderate or severe aortic regurgitation as determined by echocardiography, 4 had thickened aortic valves. The echocardiographic findings in 18 patients with mitral involvement included mitral prolapse in 15. Of 11 patients with moderate or severe mitral regurgitation as determined by echocardiography, 4 underwent mitral valve repair and 7 mitral valve replacement. Histologic findings among mitral valve replacement patients showed thickened valve tissue and myxomatous degeneration. Tricuspid involvement was seen echocardiographically in 8 patients, all of whom had tricuspid prolapse. Two patients had severe tricuspid regurgitation, and both underwent repair. Both mitral and tricuspid involvement were seen echocardiographically in 7 patients. Among the 73 patients undergoing cardiac surgery for Marfan syndrome, 66 had moderate or severe aortic regurgitation, although their valves manifested few histologic changes. Eighteen patients had mitral involvement (moderate or severe mitral regurgitation, prolapse, or both), and 8 had tricuspid involvement. Mitral valves were most frequently found to have histologic changes, but the tricuspid valve was invariably involved.

Aortic Root Repair

Cardiac complication is one of the diseases that usually develop in Marfan syndrome patient such as mitral valve regurgitation and aortic root aneurysm. Apart from that, other congenital anomalies also tend to occur in this group of patients such as pectus excavatum and scoliosis. We report a case of successful high-risk surgery involving a Marfan syndrome patient who had underlying severe kyphoscoliosis and previous mitral valve replacement that underwent redo sternotomy and valve sparing aortic root repair (David procedure). The surgery was challenging due to the need to perform redo-sternotomy on severe pectus patient, performing valve sparing aortic root repair, and complicated with injury to right coronary artery require modified Cabrol modification for implantation of the coronary artery. The available literature about redo sternotomy on severe pectus excavatum for aortic root repair is limited, hence this paper aims to highlight the successful of performing the procedure, and the complication that might occur during the procedure.
