Aortic root dilatation

Chest
Blood Vessels & Circulation

Aortic root dilatation is a widening of the section of the aorta closest to the heart. It can develop gradually and is often found unexpectedly on imaging. An MRI may show changes in the width of the aortic root. Finding aortic root dilatation early allows for monitoring to ensure it does not progress to a size that may require intervention.
