Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) affects 4–5% of men over 65, and Aortic Dissection (AD)
is a life-threatening aortic pathology associated with high morbidity and mortality. Initiators of …

Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is a highly lethal vascular disease. In many patients with
TAD, the aorta progressively dilates and ultimately ruptures. Dissection formation …

Aortic aneurysms are a major health problem because they account for 1–2% of all deaths in
the Western population. Although abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are more prevalent …

Medial degeneration associated with thoracic aortic aneurysm and acute aortic dissection
was originally described by Erdheim as a noninflammatory lesion related to the loss of …

Aortic dissection (AD) is the rupture of the aortic intima, causing the blood in the cavity to
enter the middle of the arterial wall. Without urgent and proper treatment, the mortality rate …

Extracellular matrix proteins are regulated by metzincin proteases, like the disintegrin
metalloproteinases with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) family members. This review …

Rationale: Aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) are major diseases of the adult aorta
caused by progressive medial degeneration of the aortic wall. Although the overproduction …

At inflammatory sites, cytotoxic agents are released and generated from invading immune
cells and damaged tissue cells. The further fate of the inflammation highly depends on the …

OBJECTIVES The mechanisms underlying aortic dissection remain to be fully elucidated.
We aimed to identify key molecules driving dissection through gene expression profiling …

Introduction: The inflammatory process has been reported to be associated with aortic
dissection (AD) from the development to the prognosis. The aim of the study was to …
