Two longtime friends, Michael Parver and Don Smith, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Diehl died of an aortal aneurysm.    From Wordnik.com.  [William Diehl, R. I. P.] Reference

I did not strike deeply enough to injure him, to rupture or tear open his body, slashing the stomach or crushing the aortal (pg. 58) tube, only enough to stop him, definitely.    From Wordnik.com.  [Mercenaries Of Gor]

The aortal trunk, G, of the arterial system is disposed along the median line, as well for its own safety as for the fitting distribution of those branches which spring symmetrically from either side of it to supply the lateral regions of the body.    From Wordnik.com.  [Surgical Anatomy] Reference

The irregularity of the pulse affords some reason to suspect disorder of the aortal valves, which is not yet very considerable.    From Wordnik.com.  [Cases of Organic Diseases of the Heart] Reference

The arterial system consists of the aortal and the pulmonary artery, which are attended through their whole course with their correspondent veins.    From Wordnik.com.  [Zoonomia, Vol. I Or, the Laws of Organic Life] Reference

The blood which is found in the pulmonary artery has the same dark purple colour with that in the vena cava, while that in the pulmonary vein resembles the aortal blood in its brightness.    From Wordnik.com.  [Popular Lectures on Zoonomia Or The Laws of Animal Life, in Health and Disease] Reference

Whether the irregularity of the pulse in these diseases generally depends on the disorganized state of the aortal, or other valves, we have not at present observations sufficient to decide.    From Wordnik.com.  [Cases of Organic Diseases of the Heart] Reference

A fifth important circle of irritative motions is that of the sanguiferous system, in which the capillary vessels are to be included, which unite the arterial and venous systems, both pulmonary and aortal.    From Wordnik.com.  [Zoonomia, Vol. II Or, the Laws of Organic Life] Reference

Thus then we see, that the circulation consists of two circles or stages, one through the lungs, which may be called the pulmonary, or lesser circle, and the other through all parts of the body, which may be termed the aortal, or greater circle.    From Wordnik.com.  [Popular Lectures on Zoonomia Or The Laws of Animal Life, in Health and Disease] Reference

The cause of it is doubtless an obstruction, which opposes the free discharge of blood from the heart, whether that obstruction be in the aortal valves, in the aorta itself, or in the disproportion between the heart, or more precisely the left ventricle, and the parts it supplies with blood.    From Wordnik.com.  [Cases of Organic Diseases of the Heart] Reference

There are, indeed, several great aortal lines, which connect the coal-fields with each other or with the metropolis, the head of the body; or the metropolis with the Continent; but, in every other direction, it will be observed that the railway system becomes sluggish in proportion to its distance from a coal-field, the traffic subdividing and dwindling away like the arterial streams of the animal body.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Coal Question~ Of British Invention] Reference

While the latter depends on the difficulty of the passage of the blood through the pulmonary or aortal capillaries, as in the cold fits of intermittents, and in some palpitations of the heart, and in some kinds of hæmoptoe? in these cases the increased resistance prevents the heart from emptying itself, and in consequence a new diastole sooner occurs, and thus the number of pulsations becomes greater in a given time.    From Wordnik.com.  [Zoonomia, Vol. II Or, the Laws of Organic Life] Reference
