Abstract
Pregnancy is a high-risk time for patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) or Loeys-Dietz (LDS) syndrome due to risk for cardiovascular complications including risk of aortic dissection. Little is known about differences in obstetric and cardiac outcomes based on delivery hospital setting (academic/academic-affiliated versus community medical centers).
This study aimed to evaluate obstetric and cardiac outcomes of patients with MFS or LDS based on delivery hospital setting.
