Proteomic analysis of the abdominal aortic aneurysm wall

Abstract

The pathological processes occurring in the wall of the developing AAA are still unclear. We collected samples of tissue from anterior wall of an aneurysm sac from 15 patients.

These samples were subjected to a proteomic analysis. We found a significant difference in the proteome of the AAA tissue and non-dilated aortic tissue.
