Abstract |
Aortic abnormalities in Marfan syndrome are represented pathologically by cystic medial necrosis leading to the dilatation of the aortic annulus. Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) angiography is useful for the complete examination of the entire aorta in patients with acute aortic syndrome. We report preoprative evaluation of annuloaortic ectasia using electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated MDCT angiography in a patient with Marfan syndrome |
