Marfan Syndrome is a genetic condition defined by autosomal dominant variations in the FBN1 gene resulting in changes to the cardiovascular, ocular, and skeletal systems. While a commonly explored feature of Marfan Syndrome is dilation of the aortic root, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and thoracoabdominal aneurysm (TAAA) are less studied syndrome sequelae. This systematic review provides a summary of the literature detailing surgical outcomes for patients with Marfan Syndrome undergoing AAA or TAAA repair.
