The pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) involves a central component of
chronic inflammation which is predominantly mediated by myeloid cells. We hypothesized …

Background The natural history of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is wall remodelling
potentially leading to a final rupture. The pathogenesis of AAA appears to be multifactorial …

Recent evidence indicates a possible role of D-dimer in the early diagnosis of ischemic
stroke subtypes. Whether D-dimer can also predict the long-term outcome following …

Background The aim of this study is to compare the pattern of intraluminal thrombus (ILT)
deposition in diameter-matched ruptured and nonruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms …

Background Though the pathophysiology of initiation, formation, and expansion of
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has been intensely researched, the distinct mechanisms …

Objective—Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is characterized by widening of the aorta.
Once the aneurysm exceeds 5.5 cm, there is a 10% risk of death due to rupture. AAA is also …

Background Elevated D-dimer levels are a marker of both thrombin formation and
fibrinolysis. Currently D-dimer measurement is routinely used for ruling out venous …

The biomechanics-based Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) rupture risk assessment has
gained considerable scientific and clinical momentum. However, such studies have mainly …

Objective To investigate the relationship between the characteristics of intraluminal
thrombus (ILT) with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) expansion. Methods This …

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether platelet indices [platelet count, mean
platelet volume (MPV), platelet-large cell ratio (P-LCR) and platelet distribution width (PDW)] …
