Average preoperative and postoperative annual dilatation rates in BAV and TAV patients.

	BAV		TAV		BAV Versus TAV P Value
	Coefficient (95% CI)	P Value	Coefficient (95% CI)	P Value
Preoperative
Sinus of Valsalva	0.23 (0.07–0.39)	0.045	0.15 (0.02–0.15)	0.574	0.302
Sinotubular junction	0.29 (0.09–0.40)	0.021	0.02 (0.01–0.12)	0.763	0.037
Ascending aorta	0.36 (0.22–0.65)	<0.001	0.13 (0.09–0.22)	0.679	0.029
Postoperative
Sinus of Valsalva	0.02 (−0.25–0.27)	0.688	0.16 (0.02–0.23)	0.832	0.291
Sinotubular junction	0.05 (−0.05–0.29)	0.549	0.06 (−0.03–0.19)	0.595	0.698
Ascending aorta	0.18 (0.10–0.38)	<0.001	0.16 (0.1–0.26)	0.721	0.647

Data are presented as regression coefficient and 95% confidence interval (95% CI), indicating annual dilatation rates in millimeters per year.

BAV = bicuspid aortic valve; TAV = tricuspid aortic valve.
