Abstract
In prepubertal TS girls, stiffness of the ascending aorta is increased in patients with a BAV and TAV while dilation of the ascending aorta is more frequent in BAV. This suggests an intrinsic aortic wall abnormality making all TS patients at increased risk for severe aortic complications although the risk is the highest for TS with BAV.
