The Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Genetics, Pathophysiology, and Molecular Biology
edited by M. David Tilson
The Abdominal Aortic Aneursym integrates new insights into the etiology and pathology of aneurismal disease, including physiologic and genetic causes.
The Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm:
- assess the benefits of risk of rupture assessment at different ages and thresholds of abdominal aortic aneurysm in the context of epidemiologic studies
- examine the use of animal models in the study of abdominal aortic aneurysm and its underlying pathobiology
- integrate data on susceptibility and genetic causes of abdominal aortic aneurysms
The Abdominal Aortic Aneursym covers the biological aspects of the endovascular devices used to repair abdominal aortic aneurysm and the molecular biology and immunology in abdominal aortic aneurysm are included.
