The abdominal aorta is patent?
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Patent ductus arteriosus

As opposed to the left aorta, or as opposed to the wrong aorta?There's only one aorta, so I'm not quite sure what your question is supposed to mean, but yes, blood does flow through the aorta.(Might you, perchance, have meant "atrium" instead? There are a left and right one of those, with the right one being the collector of blood from the superior and inferior vena cava and the left one being the collector of blood from the pulmonary vein.)
