Abstract
Marfan's syndrome (MS) and bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) are associated with aortic dilation. Despite their histologic similarities, the 2 diseases differ with regard to the location of maximal aortic dilation. Echocardiographic analysis of aortic dimensions was performed in children with MS, children who had aortic dilation in the setting of nonstenotic BAVs (peak gradient <16 mm Hg), and healthy controls. Data on 25 patients with MS, 31 with...
