Because of the abnormalities of the child's fibrillin, the walls of the aorta (the large blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart) are weaker than normal and tend to stretch and bulge out of shape.

This stretching increases the likelihood of an aortic dissection, which is a tear or separation between the layers of tissue that make up the aorta.

An aortic dissection usually causes severe pain in the abdomen, back, or chest, depending on the section of the aorta that is affected.

Coarctation of the aorta (COA) is a congenital heart defect that develops in the fetus.

It involves a constricture of the aorta, the main artery that delivers blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body.

In a constricture or coarctation, the sides (walls) of the aorta press together abnormally, impeding the flow of blood.

In the fetus, blood from the heart to the lungs is delivered into the aorta through a short blood vessel called the ductus arteriosis.

In asymptomatic children with COA, the descending aorta receives left ventricle blood through the ascending aorta; these children have fewer, if any, associated cardiac abnormalities.

Approximately 10 percent of newborns with congenital heart disease have symptomatic coarctation of the aorta.

Constriction of the aorta, as in COA, produces resistance to the flow of blood, resulting in raising the blood pressure above the narrowing and reducing blood pressure below or downstream from the narrowing.

Coarctation of the aorta is present in about 8 to 10 percent of infants born with other congenital heart defects, occurring approximately twice as many males as females.

In hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the baby seems normal at birth, but as the ductus closes, blood cannot reach the aorta and circulation fails.

The most common obstruction defects are pulmonary valve stenosis, aortic valve stenosis, and coarctation of the aorta.

In coarctation of the aorta, the aorta is constricted, reducing the flow of blood to the lower part of the body and increasing blood pressure in the upper body.

Arterial switch, to correct transposition of the great arteries, involves connecting the aorta to the left ventricle and connecting the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle.

Transposition of the great arteries also can be corrected by the Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure, in which the pulmonary artery is cut in two and connected to the ascending aorta and the farthest section of the right ventricle.

To correct aortic stenosis, the Ross procedure grafts the pulmonary artery to the aorta.

For transposition of the great arteries, venous switch creates a tunnel inside the atria to re-direct oxygen-rich blood to the right ventricle and aorta, and venous blood to the left ventricle and pulmonary artery.

There are two great arteries that transport blood away from the heart, the pulmonary artery and the aorta.

The aorta carries blood from the left ventricle to the vessels of the rest of the body.

After the lungs, the blood flows to the left atrium, then the left ventricle pumps the blood out through the aorta to the rest of the body, thereby supplying the body with oxygenated blood.

This condition causes oxygen depleted blood to be circulated to the body because the aorta is connected to the right ventricle.

Blood returning to the heart goes to the right atrium and ventricle, and then it goes into the aorta for distribution throughout the body instead of to the lungs to be oxygenated.

Clots in the veins can now pass through the hole in the heart and directly enter the aorta, where they can do much more damage than in the lungs such as causing infarcts in the brain.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a heart defect that occurs in infants when the ductus arteriosus (the temporary fetal blood vessel that connects the aorta and the pulmonary artery) does not close at birth.

The ductus arteriosus is a temporary fetal blood vessel that connects the aorta and the pulmonary artery before birth.

If the ductus arteriosus closes correctly, the blood pumped from the heart goes to the lungs, back into the heart, and then out to the body through the aorta.

The blood returning from the lungs and moving out of the aorta carries oxygen to the cells of the body.

The pressure between the heart and lungs of an individual affected by PDA causes some of the oxygenated blood that should go out to the body (through the aorta) to return back through the PDA into the pulmonary artery.

If the pressure in the lungs is higher than that of the heart and body, blood returning to the heart will take the short cut back into the aorta from the pulmonary artery through the PDA instead of going to the lungs.

The heart in Patella consists of a single auricle (not two as in Haliotis and Fissurella) and a ventricle; the former receives the blood from the branchial vein, the latter distributes it through a large aorta which soon leads into irregular blood-lacunae.
