One patient with Marfan’s syndrome had DeBakey type
III dissection which is far less common than type I
dissection. In one case there were signs of spontaneous
healing, although the entry site of the dissection was in
the ascending aorta, which is rare.
Two patients were operated (in the U.S.A.) and are both
in good health.
