In women with TS, ascending aortic dilation is common and associated with age, BAV and systolic blood pressure. Aortic diameters were stable during a 3-year follow-up, apart from a significant yet not clinically relevant increase at the sinotubular junction, which may suggest a more benign course of progression than previously reported.
