For a surgeon performing chest operation, thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the thoracic aorta and of its branches are essential not only to ensure the preservation of adequate organ vascular supply during reconstructive surgery of the esophagus or trachea but also to avoid injury to important ...

Ascending Aorta and Its Branches Theascending aortaarises from the aortic orifice, which in life is closed by theaortic valve. Just above its origin, it is in the midline of the chest, almost central within the heart, with theright atriumto its right, the rightventricular outflow tractanterio...
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has virtually replaced diagnostic conventional X-ray angiography and has become the primary imaging tool for the evaluation of the diseases of the aorta and branches for many indications (1–13). Development of faster magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners with...
Parietal Branches: supply blood to the chest muscles, diaphragm, and spinal cord. Descending Aorta:major portion of the aorta that extends from the aortic arch to the trunk of the body. It forms the thoracic aorta and abdominal aorta. ...
Anatomy The portion of the aorta that begins below the diaphragm, extends to the bifurcation of the iliac arteries, and supplies blood to the abdominal viscera, pelvic organs and legs Branches Inferior phrenic, lumbar, celiac trunk, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric, middle adrenal, renal, ...
, described above, can be designed to extend above the renal arteries, and/or the celiac or mesenteric arteries, and to have prosthetic side branches that extend into the renal arteries. Branch vessel prostheses can form a connection to an aortic stent graft through fenestrations in the stent ...
It goes up into the chest and forms an arch. Then extends down into the abdomen. Here it branches off into smaller arteries. The curved shape of the aorta lets other arteries deliver blood to different parts of your body. Where is the aorta located? The aorta is a long tube that ...
Entering the abdomen through the aortic hiatus, an opening in the diaphragm, the aorta branches off to supply the stomach, kidneys, intestines, gonads, and other organs through extensive arterial networks. It finally divides into the two iliac arteries carrying blood to the legs. The elasticity ...
