Consequently, the number of such patients requiring secondary interventions on the descending thoracic aorta due to new or residual dissections, and distal aneurysm formation has substantially enlarged. Surgical and endovascular procedures represent two valuable options of treatment, both associated with advantages and drawbacks. The aim of the present manuscript was to review endovascular outcomes in Marfan syndrome and to assess the potential role of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) in this subset of patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diseases3030159","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,28]],"date-time":"2015-07-28T02:12:37Z","timestamp":1438049557000},"page":"159-166","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Endovascular Repair of Aortic Dissection in Marfan Syndrome: Current Status and Future Perspectives"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Rosario","family":"Parisi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology Unit, AO Ospedali Riuniti Marche Nord, Pesaro, Piazzale Cinelli 1, 61121 Pesaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gioel","family":"Secco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology Unit, AO Ospedali Riuniti Marche Nord, Pesaro, Piazzale Cinelli 1, 61121 Pesaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Di Eusanio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Surgery Unit, G.
