“…In a case report on a patient who developed a massive retrograde type B aortic dissection 7 days after normal spontaneous vaginal delivery, Gandhi et al described the patient as "petite" (body surface area, 1.69 m 2 ), but this is still larger than the average Japanese woman. 25 We also suggest that normalizing the diameter of the sinus of Valsalva with regard to body surface area (diameter of the Valsalva/body surface area; mm/m 2 ) may be more appropriate for detection of high-risk cases at the start of pregnancy. The relative aortic size was first used to predict complications in patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms.…”

“…This large increase relative to that in the Meijboom et al study 15 is probably due to the maternal cardiovascular changes in pregnancy, including increased blood volume, heart rate, and stroke volume. 25 Furthermore, hormonally mediated histological changes also occur in the aorta, including a decrease in mucopolysaccharides and loss of elastic fibers in the aortic wall. 26-28 Care is therefore required in treating patients with a high growth rate of the sinus of Valsalva.…”

“…Peripartum dönemde gelişen aort diseksiyonun nedenleri arasında; sistemik hipertansiyon, aort kökünün genişlemesi, konjenital biküspit aort kapağı, Marfan Sendromu, Ehlers-Danlos sendromu sayıla-bilir (1,2) . Özellikle gebeliğe bağlı gelişen aort diseksiyonlarının yarısından Marfan Sendromu sorumlu tutulmaktadır (3,4) .…”
