Background 3F7 is a monoclonal antibody targeting the enzymatic pocket of activated factor
XII (FXIIa), thereby inhibiting its catalytic activity. Given the emerging role of FXIIa in …

Background and Purpose To test the hypothesis that angiotensin‐(1‐7)[Ang‐(1‐7)] may
attenuate abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) via inhibiting vascular inflammation …

This study was aimed at generating data for designing a potential method to prevent the
rupture of the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). We found that the mechanical strength and …

In the previous studies, we have shown that the tunica adventitia of porcine abdominal aorta
could be mechanically reinforced by irradiating it with ultraviolet A (UV-A) rays to promote …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common cardiovascular disease resulting in
morbidity and mortality in older adults due to rupture. Currently, AAA treatment relies entirely …

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are characterized by a progressive
disruption and weakening of the extracellular matrix (ECM) leading to dilation of the aorta …

Background The prevalence of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) in patients with known
abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is not well known and understudied. Our aim was to …

Objective One year aneurysm sac dynamics after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm
repair (EVAR) were independently associated with greater risk of all-cause mortality in prior …

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) are manifestations of
atherosclerosis, affecting a substantial proportion of the population. Despite their …

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a dilatation of the abdominal aorta, which can
potentially be fatal due to exsanguination following rupture. Although AAA is less prevalent …
