This five‐part review focuses on selected nonneoplastic diseases of the aorta and pulmonary trunk. Because many more diseases affect the aorta compared with the pulmonary trunk and right and left main pulmonary arteries, most of this review will be devoted to disorders of the aorta. Part II of this five‐part series discusses complications of aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm.
