What is mild ectasia of the distal aorta?
Mild aortic ectasia is a mild enlargement of the aorta. This enlargement is under 1.5 times the normal aortic size, however it can be very serious. If it is caught in time, however, surgical repair is very effective.
What is the difference between the ascending aorta and the thoracic aorta?
The ascending aorta extends from the aortic root (which connects the aorta to the heart), upwards toward the aortic arch. The thoracic aorta is one of two parts of the descending aorta, which extends back down towards the abdomen after the aortic arch. The thoracic aorta is the part of the descending aorta that is above the diaphragm, while the abdominal aorta is below the diaphragm.
What is dilated aorta?
A dilated aorta is an aorta that is wider than normal. This is indicative of an aortic aneurysm, or a bulging of the aorta due to a weakening in the walls of the aorta. Aortic aneurysms are dangerous because they can cause the walls of the aorta to tear--aortic dissection--or rupture completely, leading to severe internal bleeding. Aortic aneurysms are repaired with surgery, but can sometimes be monitored to avoid or delay surgery. Because of the life-threatening risks associated with aortic aneurysm, medical consultation should be sought.
What is a separating aorta?
"Separating aorta" might refer to an aortic dissection. An aortic dissection is a life-threatening aortic condition in which the inner layer of the aorta is torn. This causes blood to collect in the space between the two layers. This blocks blood flow, causes the tear to enlarge and weakens the outer wall of the aorta, which can lead to this wall rupturing. Medical attention at a center specializing in aortic disease should be sought immediately for suspected aortic dissection.
What are the subdivisions of the aorta?
The aorta is one vessel that can be conceptualized in six parts: The aortic root: connects the aorta to the left ventricle. The coronary arteries emerge from this part. Ascending aortia: Moving away from the heart towards the neck. Aortic arch: the aorta turns at this point to descend towards the rest of the body. Branches to the brain and upper extremities branch away here. Descending aorta: extends down the back and divides into the common iliac arteries. The portion above the diaphragm is the thoracic aorta, the portion below the diagram is the abdominal aorta.
Is aortic the same as aorta?
Aortic is an adjective meaning related to the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in your body.
What valve is at the entrance to the aorta?
The heart pumps blood from the left ventricle through the aortic semilunar valve into the Aorta.
What is mild ectasia of the distal aorta?
Mild aortic ectasia is a mild enlargement of the aorta. This enlargement is under 1.5 times the normal aortic size, however it can be very serious. If it is caught in time, however, surgical repair is very effective.
What is pertaining to aorta called?
Pertaining to the aorta is called aortic.
What is aortic dilation?
Aortic dilation is the widening of the aorta. This widening could be an aortic aneurysm.
From which major vessel do the coronary arteries arise?
Just outside the Left ventricle, in the aortic cusp.
What is the difference between the ascending aorta and the thoracic aorta?
The ascending aorta extends from the aortic root (which connects the aorta to the heart), upwards toward the aortic arch. The thoracic aorta is one of two parts of the descending aorta, which extends back down towards the abdomen after the aortic arch. The thoracic aorta is the part of the descending aorta that is above the diaphragm, while the abdominal aorta is below the diaphragm.

What is aortic valve repair?
It is ablood vessel that yransports oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the aorta.
Where does the blood from the left ventricle go?
left venatricle pumps the blood in to aorta rapidly 75% blood is pumped : aorta divides in to artries which
What are the 4 parts of the aorta?
The aorta consists of : the ascending aorta, the arch of the aorta, the thoracic portion of the descending aorta, and the abdominal portion of the descending aorta.
Where is the aortic valve?
The aortic semilunar valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta.
