In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we analyze and compare literature on in vivo aortic stiffness measures in Marfan patients. Our aim is to assess the potential of these measurements as early indicators of aortic dilatation. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we collected literature on diameter and three in vivo stiffness measures: Pulse wave velocity (PWV),\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:alternatives>\n                        <jats:tex-math>$$\\beta $$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                        <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                          <mml:mi>\u03b2<\/mml:mi>\n                        <\/mml:math>\n                      <\/jats:alternatives>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    -stiffness index (SI) and distensibility, at five different aortic locations in patients with Marfan syndrome. Results were reviewed and compared against each other. For meta-analysis, an augmented dataset was created by combining data from the literature. Regression with respect to age and statistical comparisons were performed. Thirty articles reporting data from 1925 patients with Marfan and 836 patients without Marfan were reviewed. PWV was found to be higher in Marfan, but only in dilated aortas. Distensibility was found to be lower even in non-dilated aortas, and its decrease was associated with higher chances of developing aortic dilatation.\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:alternatives>\n                        <jats:tex-math>$$\\beta $$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                        <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                          <mml:mi>\u03b2<\/mml:mi>\n                        <\/mml:math>\n                      <\/jats:alternatives>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    -SI was higher in Marfan patients and was positively correlated with the rate of aortic dilatation, emphasizing its role as a valuable indicator.
