The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body. It carries freshly oxygenated blood out of the heart so that it can be distributed to the circulatory system. In most people, the aorta follows a relatively straight path, but in people with tortuous aorta, the vessel may be twisted or distorted.
A tortuous aorta is an aorta with a twisted or distorted shape. A tortuous aorta may increase the risk for a variety of conditions or complications, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The aorta is the largest artery in the human body, and distributes freshly oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The aorta is divided anatomically into four segments: the ascending aorta, aortic arch, thoracic aorta and abdominal aorta. The ascending aorta originates at the opening of the aortic valve of the heart, and shares a pericardial sheath with the pulmonary trunk.
