Abstract
Surgical tactics and methods for treatment of aneurysms and aortic dissection have not, yet been fully developed and the mortality rate remains high. One of the key point’s оf management for aneurysm and aortic dissection is the restoration of adequate hemodynamics in the aorta throughout. However, there is still no comprehensive concept of blood flow in the aorta that can be, used as a “golden” standard. Based on the literature data, including the SCOPUS and NCBI databases, modern views on aortal hemodynamics are, summarized. It is, noted that the approach from the point of view of tornado self-organization of blood flow allows solving the contradictions that arise when using other theories. An attempt to link the geometry of the aorta with the hemodynamics of the flow inside it is promising. In this case, it is necessary to take into account pathological changes in the aortic wall during aneurysm and dissection.
