And this is of course the aorta. This is my aorta.

It doesn't have to be always dissection.

Then cut off his aorta,

Up into the ascending aorta.

Since it's digital, we can do reverse dissection.

and then cut off his aorta,

So this large vessel, the Aorta.

This is a model of my aorta.

And these coronary vessles they actually come right off the aorta here and here. So they kind of come off the aorta right away, they are the first branches off the aorta, actually.

You know, cadaver dissection is the traditional way of learning human anatomy.

Then We would certainly have cut off his aorta.

Then We would have cut from him the aorta.

Right it's gonna have to go away from the heart. So that's the aorta. The aorta actually has the little arch like that.

You're reading about this smart stuff, this intelligent dissection of the immune system.

This is going to be the aorta, and the aorta is very, very wide across, and that's why I say it's a large artery.

And, from the aorta, I'm actually not drawing all the branches of the aorta, but from the aorta, it's going to go down into my belly, and it's going to branch towards my left leg and my right leg.

So with this Anatomage Table, students can experience the dissection without a human cadaver.

And then certainly should have cut off his life artery (Aorta),

then, We would surely have cut from him the aorta (vein)

This vessel I'm gonna label let's say here, as the Aorta.

Sentinel lymph node dissection has really changed the way that we manage breast cancer, melanoma.

So to address this, we developed with a Dr. Brown in Stanford virtual dissection table.

So we learned the majority of anatomic classes taught, they do not have a cadaver dissection lab.

And then we realized that it was actually a mirror image of the real aorta.

So now blood is gonna go through the aorta to the rest of the body.

And then if that node has cancer, the woman would go on to get the axillary lymph node dissection.

And it's that part, the ascending aorta, which dilates and ultimately bursts, which of course is fatal.

Anesthetize you, open your chest, put you on an artificial heart and lung machine, drop your body temperature to about 18 centigrade, stop your heart, cut the aorta out, replace it with a plastic valve and a plastic aorta.

He opens you up, he accesses the aorta while your heart is beating, all at the right temperature.

The aorta of a whale is larger in the bore than the main pipe of the water works at

The only real problem with the ascending aorta in people with Marfan syndrome is that it lacks some tensile strength.

However, when we have a real patient on the table, this is the same neck dissection not so easy to tell the difference between different structures.

We started by organizing image acquisition from magnetic resonance and CT imaging machines, from which to make a model of the patient's aorta.

Your aorta comes up behind your heart, it's your major artery and it was severed, so my blood was gurgling out of my mouth.

And then, when the heart is ready to pump it back out, it goes into this artery, and the name of it is the aorta.

And as you can see, my aorta dilated progressively, and I got closer and closer to the point where surgery was going to be necessary.

We then used that former to manufacture a perfectly bespoke porous textile mesh, which takes the shape of the former and perfectly fits the aorta.

So if you've heard of the aorta, this is the artery that people are talking about. So this is how blood comes and gets pumped around.

And of course it branches and splits and I haven't shown all the branches that come off the Aorta. But there are many, many of them.

And the blood comes back from the right lung and the left lung, and gets pushed back into the heart, and then gets squeezed through the aorta.

I memorized in my anatomy class the origins and exertions of every muscle, every branch of every artery that came off the aorta, differential diagnoses obscure and common.

So what happens is that the heart, before sending blood out the aorta, before just dishing it out back into the body, it actually sends the blood over to the lungs.

And in 1992, I participated in a genetic study, and found to my horror, as you can see from the slide, that my ascending aorta was not in the normal range, the green line at the bottom.

So this is your heart and coming out of your heart is the aorta and before this video I have been drawing the aorta quite differently, kind of showing its branches and here I am showing it kind of stretched out. and I'll show a few of the branches but really the point of the drawing is not to make it anatomically correct, you can tell that definitely it's not anatomically correct, because that wouldn't make any sense at all, that blood going off to one side.

And since this was introduced in 1999, a lot of these robots have been out and being used for surgical procedures like a prostatectomy, which is a prostate deep in the pelvis, and it requires fine dissection and delicate manipulation to be able to get a good surgical outcome.
