Azarshab Journal Article 2019 03 01 Severe cardiovascular disorders, including aortic dissection and aneurismal dilation of the aorta, are the main life-threatening complications of the Marfan syndrome 1. Approximately two thirds of individuals who have this syndrome have chest wall deformities such as pectus excavatum or pectus carinatum 2.
