Through oocyte donation (OD), women with Turner syndrome (TS) may achieve motherhood. However, this population has a high prevalence of cardiac malformations and carry a risk for aortic dissection that is increased by pregnancy. Until recently, the necessity for a specialized cardiac evaluation before pregnancy was underestimated as was the need for follow-up through adulthood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the follow-up (mainly cardiovascular) of women with TS requesting OD.
