Bentall Procedure to Repair Acute Type a Aortic Dissection in Pregnant Marfan Syndrome Woman With Preservation of Pregnancy.

Background: Acute aortic dissection is the most common life-threatening disorder classically presenting with tearing chest pain radiating to the back yet can have deceiving clinical presentations.Case presentation: The patient was a 22-year-old pregnant woman (gravida 6, para 4, abortion1) at 26 weeks of gestation. She was a known case of Marfan syndrome who developed acute type A aortic dissection during pregnancy. Repair of aortic dissection was done through the Bentall procedure with a composite mechanical valved conduit while Fetal heart rate (FHR) was simultaneously monitored during surgery. Three months after surgical repair, the newborn was delivered via cesarean, and both mother and baby survived without any complications.Conclusions: In this case, we demonstrated that repair of type A aortic dissection can be done in pregnant women with preservation of fetus in the uterus through close cooperation among all members of a multi-disciplinary team.
