Aortic aneurysms represent a very common pathology that can affect any segment of the
aorta. These types of aneurysms can be localized on the thoracic segment or on the …

Background/Aim: The intraluminal thrombus (ILT) is considered to participate in abdominal
aortic aneurysm (AAA) evolution. To assess whether this role proceeds via ILT influence on …

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are common problems in aged people which can be
associated with severe complications including aortic rupture and death. Transforming …

Objective: To determine macrophage-specific alterations in epigenetic enzyme function
contributing to the development of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Background: AAA is …

Matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 (MMP 2 and‐9) have been implicated in the pathogenesis
of atherosclerosis and aneurysm formation. The goal of the study was to establish the role of …

Chronic transmural inflammation and proteolytic destruction of medial elastin are key
mechanisms in the development of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Diferuloylmethane …

Background and aims Hyperlipidemia is a suggested risk factor for abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA). However, whether hyperlipidemia is causally involved in AAA progression …

Objective—Intima-media remodeling, as frequently assessed by changes in the external
elastic lamina-to-lumen area (EELLA), is well-described in coronary artery disease in …

There is some evidence that periodontitis increases the risk of atherothrombosis. Abdominal
aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a cardiovascular disease with specific risk factors and …

It has been suggested that matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) polymorphisms are associated
with the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysmal diseases. In this study, we conducted a …
