The technique in performing this procedure exposes residents in accessing the major vessels, branches of the arch of aorta, selective angiography and diagnosing different vascular anomalies of brain and spine. They are also exposed to the knowledge of different diagnostic catheters, its manipulation, use of dye and radiation exposure and safety. We would like to share our experience in training and disseminating the knowledge of digital subtraction angiography to the residents. KEY WORDS Digital subtraction angiography, Neurosurgical residents, NeurointerventionPublication Marfan’s syndrome with aortic valve endocarditis(Kathmandu University, 2004) Jaiswal, S; Magar, BS; Poudel, M; Joshi, LN; Neupane, A; Karki, DBMarfan’s syndrome is an Autosomal dominant disorder of the connective tissues resulting in abnormalities of the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system and eyes. It has a prevalence of 1 in 100,000 population1 and occurs in all ethnic groups. It may be familial or due to new mutation (30%), in the fibrillin gene on arm of chromosome 15. It is estimated that one person in every 3000-5000 has Marfan’s syndrome may have cardiovascular abnormalities and may be complicated by infective endocartditis. About 90% of Marfan patients will develop cardiac complications2. The patient under discussion has musculoskeletal (Tall stature, reduced upper-lower segment ratio, arm-span to height ratio >1.05, high arched palate) and Cardiovascular features (Severe aortic regurgitation complicated with infective endocarditis) Key words: Marfan’s Syndrome, Autosomal dominant, Aortic Regurgitation, Infective Endocarditis
