“…Marfan syndrome (MFS) is the best known example of a hereditary syndromic aortopathy [ 3 ], and is the one most frequently encountered in daily practice, with a reported prevalence of 6.5/100,000 [ 4 ]. It is an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern disorder in which aortic root dilation, a characteristic major criterion and the main cause of morbidity and mortality, can lead to thoracic aorta aneurysm (TA) or Type A aortic dissection (TAAD).…”

Although these diseases have their own unique characteristics, they also share some clinical manifestations, which makes the precise diagnosis and treatment strategy difficult.…”
