Progress in diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy with Marfan syndrome / 中华围产医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Pregnancy complicated by Marfan syndrome (MFS) could increase adverse pregnancy outcomes. The most serious MFS-induced complication is aortic dissection (AoD), which could endanger both the mother and the fetus. This article summarizes the research progress in China and overseas in the diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy complicated by MFS in recent years in order to raise awareness and improve prenatal diagnosis and pre-conception counseling, thereby facilitating early diagnosis and timely perinatal multi-disciplinary standardized treatment with a view to improving the prognosis.
