RESUMEN
El síndrome de Marfán es una enfermedad hereditaria del tejido conectivo, que se describe en niños y en adultos, causada por una mutación en el gen que codifica la glicoproteína fibrilina tipo 1. Afecta múltiples órganos y sistemas, fundamentalmente cardiovascular, esquelético, oftalmológico, piel y tegumentos. Se presenta una revisión de los aspectos más actuales del diagnóstico, y la atención multidisciplinaria para lograr una reducción de la morbilidad y mortalidad en los pacientes pediátricos. Se concluye que el uso precoz de betabloqueadores e inhibidores del receptor AT-1 de la angiotensina II (losartán), constituyen actualmente los pilares fundamentales de la terapéutica farmacológica, pues disminuyen la frecuencia de complicaciones cardiovasculares, las cuales determinan el pronóstico de la enfermedad. La cirugía programada de la raíz aórtica, especialmente con preservación valvular, permite mejorar la expectativa de vida al evitar la alta mortalidad de los eventos agudos. Alternativas prometedoras son los procederes híbridos y el intervencionismo endovascular(AU)
ABSTRACT
Marfan syndrome is a hereditary disease of the connective tissue caused by mutation of type 1 fibrillin glycoprotein-coding gene in children and adults. This disease affects organs and systems, mainly cardiovascular, skeletal, ophthalmologic systems, skin and teguments. The review of the most current aspects of diagnosis, and the multidisciplinary care to reduce morbidity and mortality of pediatric patients were presented. It was concluded that the early use of betablockers and angiotensin II AT-1 receptor blocker (losarfan) are the fundamental pillars of drug therapy, since they reduce the frequency of cardiovascular complications that determine the disease prognosis. The scheduled surgery of the aortic root, particularly valve preservation, allows improving the life expectancies because it prevents high mortality from acute events. Hybrid procedures and endovascular interventions are promising alternatives for the management of the disease(AU)
