unwound aorta, unrolled, extended

Explanation:
O tal vez extended. He encontrado algo similar...

Careful anatomic studies have established the way the cardiac band should be unrolled.Go Go 3,4 Unwrapping occurs easily(Figure 1), with least resistance, along a natural cleavage plane. Dissection of the ventricular myocardial band can be accomplished in three steps. In the first step(Figure 2Go, A), the basal loop is unrolled.

agree Dr Sue Levy: absolutely - but from past experience, difficult to convince non-medically qualified translators that an unfolded aorta is tortuous :-)//see what I mean?!
9 hrs
  -> Thanks, Dr Sue

neutral liz askew: With all due respect, I fail to see how "desenrollar" equates with "tortuous", having looked up the definition of "desenrollar"...??//Please explain to a mere linguist..//The query is "desenrollada", not "tortuoso". Are you saying they mean the same?
13 hrs
  -> Hi, Liz, an arotic tortuosity is a common find in normal elder persons. A dilated aorta is a pathologic condition. And in yahoo answers the question is wrong, the aorta is not a vein. Hope this can help.
