Tortuous aorta symptoms?

Depends on severity: A twisted or distorted aorta can cause blood flow to be blocked from the narrowing of the aorta.

Aorta: A tortuous aorta may have no symptoms. If there are symptoms they generally relate to obstructed blood flow related to the tortuosity. The symptom would depend on what wasn't getting good flow or perhaps some compression caused in adjacent organ by the tortuosity.
