Abstract:
This five-part review focuses on selected nonneoplastic diseases of the aorta and pulmonary trunk. Because many more diseases affect the aorta compared with the pulmonary trunk and right and left main pulmonary arteries, most of this review will be devoted to disorders of the aorta. Part I of this five-part review discusses general concepts of aorta anatomy and aortic dissection.
