In our pediatric and young adult BAV cohort, hemodynamic markers and systolic blood flow patterns remained stable over short-term follow-up despite significant AAo growth, suggesting minimal acute disease progression. Baseline AAo peak velocity was a predictor of AAo dilation and might help in determining pediatric patients with BAV who are at risk of increased AAo growth.
