In humanoid anatomy, the abdominal aorta was an artery located in the abdominal cavity and it was part of the aorta.
In 2259, Una Chin-Riley suffered an intrusion on her abdominal aorta. Because of the location of a fragment, Chin-Riley was warned that she would bleed a lot and that she would be sedated. Nurse Christine Chapel noted that they had just enough blood plasma but it would need to be given via IV. (SNW: "Memento Mori")
