The aorta is the body's largest artery. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The inner lining of any artery can develop fatty plaques that harden. This process is called atherosclerosis. When the lining of an artery is affected by atherosclerosis, calcium can deposit in the areas of atherosclerosis.Seeing calcification in the aorta most likely means there is some atherosclerosis in your largest artery.Such calcifications are often seen in people as they get older.hen the lining of an artery is affected by atherosclerosis, calcium can deposit in the areas of atherosclerosis.
