A member asked:
If a normal adult has a hole in their aorta. how can this be fixed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal : It is not normal to have a hole in the aorta. If a hole is present, it would lead to internal bleeding. Occasionally, abnormal connections between aorta and other structures or blood vessels could be seen which may be contained and/or tolerated. Further detail is needed to answer this question.
