Your doctor is telling you that the abdominal portion of your aorta is very easily detectable by touch, which means it is more obvious than normal. The aorta is a major artery of the body supplying blood to many principal organs.
The ascending aorta extends from the aortic root (which connects the aorta to the heart), upwards toward the aortic arch.
