Analysis of multiple genetic polymorphisms in aggressive-growing and slow-growing abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The natural history of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) suggests that some remain slow in growth rate whereas many develop a more accelerated growth rate and reach a threshold for intervention. We hypothesized that different mechanisms are responsible for AAAs that remain slow growing and never become actionable vs the aggressive AAAs that require intervention and may be reflected by distinct...
