Abstract
We present a case report of a 30-year-old Marfan syndrome patient who underwent a David procedure for severe aortic valve insufficiency and Valsalva aneurysm. Harvested aortic walls were examined by pathologists. Although the tunica media of the ascending aorta contained aligned elastic fibers, the aortic root media lacked aligned elastic fibers.
