In this case report, we present 31-year-old twin sisters diagnosed with severe Barlow mitral valve prolapse, mitral annular disjunction and presence of lateral mid-wall fibrosis diagnosed on MRI as well as ventricular arrhythmias, and a very rare variant of Loeys-Dietz syndrome, being referred to our center for surgical repair. Genetic testing dete...

Hereditary aortic aneurysms and dissections, such as Marfan syndrome, differ in that they occur in younger patients without generally recognized risk factors, have a predilection for the thoracic rather than the abdominal aorta, and are at risk for dissection even at smaller aortic diameters. Early diagnosis, careful follow-up, and early interventi...
