NCT ID NCT07495267
Summary
This small pilot study is testing whether a carefully supervised ketogenic diet can help stabilize the aorta in people with Marfan syndrome who have a chronic aortic dissection. Fifteen participants will follow the diet for a year while researchers track their blood ketone levels and monitor their aorta size with regular CT scans. The main goal is to see if this dietary approach can help patients avoid needing aortic surgery during the study period.
