An unwound aorta refers to a condition where the aorta, the largest artery in the body, experiences a disruption in its normal structure, typically involving the layers of the vessel wall. This can occur due to conditions such as aortic dissection, where layers of the aorta separate, or in cases of severe atherosclerosis. The term "unwound" may also describe the aorta's physical appearance when viewed in imaging studies. This condition can be life-threatening and often requires immediate medical attention.
