| | Aorta |
 | | These findings suggest that atherosclerosis represents a secondary response to dilatation of the aorta resulting from medial weakness.Aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta also traditionally has been attributed to atherosclerosis, since such lesions are commonly accompanied by an infrarenal aneurysm. | | | Placement of a stent-graft through an endoluminal approach is being investigated in several centers as a less morbid approach to the treatment of distal dissection. | | | In cases involving the ascending aorta, operative repair should be undertaken as soon as the patient can be stabilized and appropriate diagnostic information compiled. |

| | Keyhole Approaches for Aortic Valve and Aorta Reoperations |
| | For example, a patient who was treated for dilation (widening) in one section of the aorta may need to have additional surgery if the condition progresses so that another section of the aorta begins to dilate. | | | The aorta is responsible for taking oxygen-rich blood from the heart and distributing it throughout the body. | | | Many surgical procedures on the aorta and aortic valve can be done using this approach. |

| | The objective of surgery is to excise as much of the dissected aorta as possible, obliterate entry into the false channel, and reconstitute the aorta with a synthetic graft. | | | A chest film shows widening of the aorta in 90% of patients. | | | Medical therapy is generally recommended for patients with distal aortic dissection, except those in whom the dissection may have leaked, those with limb or visceral ischemia, and those with symptomatic or enlarging aneurysms. |

| | Changes in the pressure in the aorta of the human body are indicated by Pao. | | | The interesting variable to be measured externally, 'the pulse pressure', is practically equal to the pressure of the aorta. | | | Furthermore there is a connection between the blood pressure in the aorta (Pao), the quantity of blood which flows through the aorta (Qao) and the resistance offered by the body (the peripheral resistance, Rp). |

| | Children's Heart Institute Heart Defects: Coarctation of the Aorta |
| | Coarctation of the Aorta is a congenital heart defect that happens when there is a narrowing of the aorta as it makes the turn to supply the lower part of the body. | | | It is very important to recognize and treat this condition very early, because if the blood pressure stays high for a long time, after correcting the defect the blood pressure may not return back to normal and your child may need medication for his entire life. | | | This is like muscle cramps but they are caused by a lack of blood supply to exercising muscles. |

| | Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) |
| | Sudden, excruciating pain in the lower abdomen and back pain usually indicates a ruptured aorta, which needs to be treated immediately. | | | The pressure of the blood flow inside the aorta causes the weakened wall to bulge outward. | | | It receives all the blood from the left ventricle of the heart, and continues from the heart, through the chest, and on to the abdomen. |

| | Coarctation of the Aorta |
| | The principle cardiac anatomy is left ventricular hypertrophy due to increased afterload, since tension is increased when the heart tries to pump against it causing the ventricle to become hypertrophied. | | | Optional surgery may be postponed until 15 years of age when the aorta is fully developed. | | | However, in case of closed PDA, surgical intervention should be given an immediate consideration. |
