Is there a treatment for aortic tortourosity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just a bit curvy: Arterial tortuosity syndrome is a rare connective tissue disorder causing some tortuosity (curves) of the major arteries including the aorta. It is associated with hyperextensible skin and hypermobility of joints. There isn't any specific treatment for this condition. If it involves the heart/valve area which may cause trouble and that needs treatment. Consult doc if you have trouble. Good luck.
