# Bentall-De Bono Procedure as a Treatment for Stanford Type A Chronic Aortic Dissection

## TL;DR

A 35-year-old woman with Marfan syndrome had successful surgery for chronic aortic dissection using the Bentall-De Bono procedure.

## Contribution

This case highlights the effectiveness of the Bentall-De Bono procedure for chronic Stanford type A aortic dissection in Marfan syndrome.

## Key findings

- Chronic Stanford type A aortic dissection was successfully treated with the Bentall-De Bono procedure.
- Early recognition of dissection in Marfan syndrome patients is crucial for effective surgical management.

## Abstract

Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder with multisystemic involvement, in which cardiovascular complications, particularly aortic dissection, are the leading cause of mortality. We report a case of a 35-year-old woman with known Marfan syndrome who complained of chest pain in the last 4 months and was found to have a chronic Stanford type A aortic dissection and severe aortic insufficiency. Surgical repair with a Bentall-De Bono procedure was successfully performed. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of chronic dissection in Marfan patients and the effectiveness of surgical management using the current gold standard approach.
