: With all due respect, I fail to see how "desenrollar" equates with "tortuous", having looked up the definition of "desenrollar"...??//Please explain to a mere linguist..//The query is "desenrollada", not "tortuoso". Are you saying they mean the same?

Hi, Liz, an arotic tortuosity is a common find in normal elder persons. A dilated aorta is a pathologic condition. And in yahoo answers the question is wrong, the aorta is not a vein. Hope this can help.

: more properly unfolding, though unfolding causes tortuosity

This link refers to a tortous aorta; you can use both terms, so a neutral could have been better https://openi.nlm.nih.gov/detailedresult.php?img=PMC2605764_...

unwound aorta, unrolled, extended
O tal vez extended. He encontrado algo similar...
Careful anatomic studies have established the way the cardiac band should be unrolled.Go Go 3,4 Unwrapping occurs easily(Figure 1), with least resistance, along a natural cleavage plane. Dissection of the ventricular myocardial band can be accomplished in three steps. In the first step(Figure 2Go, A), the basal loop is unrolled.
