Could a High-Fat diet prevent aortic surgery in marfan patients?

This pilot study tests whether a carefully supervised ketogenic diet can help people with Marfan syndrome who have a chronic aortic dissection avoid surgery for one year. Fifteen adults aged 18-50 will follow the diet with guidance from a dietitian, measure their blood ketones at home, and have regular blood tests and CT scans. The study aims to see if the diet reduces inflammation and stabilizes the aorta, compared to historical data.
