Antibiotic prophylaxis is not a form of therapy indicated for Marfan syndrome.â-Blockers and restricted activity are recommended as treatment modalities early in the pregnancy.Regional anaesthesia is well tolerated by patients with Marfan syndrome;however,it is not essential to care.Adequate labour support may be all that is necessary if an epidural is not part of the woman's birth plan.Surgery for cardiovascular changes such as mitral valve prolapse,aortic regurgitation,root dilation,or dissection may be necessary.Mortality rates may be as high as 50% in women who have severe cardiac disease.
