Prevalence and development of aortic dilation and dissection in women with Turner syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

In adult women with TS, ascending aortic dilatation is common and the hazard of aortic dissection increased compared to the general population, whereas aortic growth is limited. Conventional risk markers do not explain all aortic dissection cases, therefore new imaging parameters and blood biomarkers are needed to improve prediction, allowing for patient-tailored follow-up and surgical decision making.
