|
• developmental defect associated with the organization of elastin fibers
|
• elongated aorta results in the juxtaposition of brachiocephalic trunk and the left common carotid artery

• elongation of the ascending aorta, resulting in the juxtaposition of brachiocephalic trunk and the left common carotid artery
|
• significant increase in systolic blood pressure at the aortic arch
• mean blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure did not differ from those of wild-type
|

• lungs were observed to be expanded upon dissection
|
• dilated alveoli, most severe in the peripheral regions of the lung
|
