A member asked:
Is an uncoiling aorta dangerous if there are aneurysms in your family? will a ct of chest show the lungs and aorta?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
uncoiling of the aorta is part of aging and is not dangerous, as long as there is not aneurysm. An ultrasound examination is usually sufficient to evaluate for an aneurysm. Wish you good health!
