Moderate\/severe (Z&gt;4) aortic root and ascending aortic dilation was present in 14\/333 (5%) and 53\/333 (16%) of patients, respectively. In longitudinal follow-up, only a minimal change in aortic Z-score was noted. Predictors of moderate\/severe aortic root dilation included moderate\/severe aortic regurgitation, absence of moderate\/severe aortic stenosis and fusion of the right and left coronary leaflets. Predictors of moderate\/severe ascending aortic dilation included moderate\/severe aortic regurgitation and absence of aortic coarctation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Moderate\/severe dilation of the ascending aorta is common in young patients with BAV, but moderate\/severe dilation of the aortic root is less common. The Z-scores for both remained relatively constant over time even in patients with significant dilation, implying that young children with moderate\/severe aortic dilation may be at the highest risk for dilation-related complications as adults.<\/jats:p>\n
