Description

The aorta is the large blood vessel that moves blood from the heart through the rest of the body. Sometimes, genetic conditions, heart valve and blood vessel diseases or lifestyle choices can cause a bulge in the aorta, called an aortic aneurysm. A panel of heart experts will explain causes, diagnosis and treatments for thoracic aortic disease, also known as aortic disease, that occurs within the chest.
