title: Endovascular Repair by Graft-to-Graft Bridging in a Patient with Marfan Syndrome.
abstract: We report a case of chronic aortic dissection in a patient with Marfan syndrome in which we performed thoracic endovascular repair after aortic root replacement, total arch replacement with open stent grafting and thoracoabdominal aortic repair. We consider that endovascular repair of the dissected descending aorta in a patient with Marfan syndrome can be effective when graft-to-graft bridging is performed as the "finishing procedure".
