Objective This study tested the hypothesis that an experimental model of abdominal aortic
aneurysm in rabbits results in progressive enlargement when induced by a combination of …

OBJECTIVES: To modify the method for creating an abdominal aortic aneurysm in rabbits,
and to study its performance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 24 New Zealand white …

Hemodynamics may play an essential role in the initiation and progression of abdominal
aortic aneurysm (AAA). We aimed to study the mechanism of self-healing process by the …

The self-healing phenomenon can be found in the elastase-induced abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) model, and an enlarging AAA model was successfully induced by …

A model of abdominal aortic aneurysm with intimal thickening was developed in the rabbit. A
segment of the abdominal aorta just proximal to the bifurcation (1 or 2 cm in length) was …

OBJECTIVE: An ideal animal model of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is of great
importance for clarifying unknown complex mechanisms of the pathogenesis. We introduce …

Background The pathogenesis of aortic aneurysms remains largely unknown, despite
aneurysmal rupture being an increasingly common catastrophe. Methods This study was …

Background The perfused elastase AAA model and subcutaneous Angiotensin II infusion
AAA model are widely used murine AAA models. We modified these two current models and …

Background. The morphologic changes in the aorta during elastase infusion, which have not
previously been investigated, were examined in the rat abdominal aortic aneurysm model …

Background Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a potentially deathly disease, needing
surgical or endovascular treatment. To evaluate potentially new diagnostic tools and …
