Alan Braverman, MD, Section Head of General Cardiology and Director of the WashU Medicine Marfan Syndrome and Aortopathy Center, and his collaborators have published new findings in JACC on the characteristics of extra-aortic arterial aneurysms in Loeys-Dietz syndrome.
This retrospective study, examining clinical data, imaging, and outcomes of LDS patients, will give a greater understanding to the causes and mechanisms of arterial aneurysms in these patients, and suggest preventative paths.
