CAAs in the ascending group were larger (mean diameter 5.9 vs. 5.0 mm, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.12) with larger reference vessel size (3.1 vs. 2.6 mm, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03).

This difference remained significant after controlling for the presence of generalized CAD. No other differences in CAAs between the two groups were found. Within the ascending aneurysm group, the only clinical variable independently associated with CAA was bicuspid aortic valve (OR 0.47, 95% confidence interval 0.25\u20130.89, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.02).
