Abstract
Abstract: Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a rare autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder characterized by aggressive aortopathy, craniofacial anomalies and systemic involvement. Rapid aortic root dilatation and valvular dysfunction mandate an early surgical intervention. We report a case of 15-year-old boy with LDS, rapidly progressive aortic root dilatation and severe aortic regurgitation (AR) who underwent successful Bentall procedure. The case highlights the need of early detection, multidisciplinary involvement and meticulous anesthetic care.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia (ACA) is the official journal of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular Thoracic Anaesthesiologists. The journal is indexed with PubMed/MEDLINE, Excerpta Medica/EMBASE, IndMed and MedInd. The journal’s full text is online at www.annals.in. With the aim of faster and better dissemination of knowledge, we will be publishing articles ‘Ahead of Print’ immediately on acceptance. In addition, the journal would allow free access (Open Access) to its contents, which is likely to attract more readers and citations to articles published in ACA. Authors do not have to pay for submission, processing or publication of articles in ACA.
