Abstract
This five-part review focuses on selected nonneoplastic diseases of th e aorta and pulmonary trunk. Because many more diseases affect the aor ta compared with the pulmonary trunk and right and left main pulmonary arteries, most of this review will be devoted to disorders of the aor ta. Part I of this five-part review discusses general concepts of aort a anatomy and aortic dissection.
