Objective: Abdominal Aortic aneurysms (AAA) are pathological aortic dilations that can rupture and result in up to 90% overall mortality. These lesions have a strong inflammatory substrate since atherosclerosis, which is undoubtedly related to inflammation, also predisposes patients to develop abdominal aorta aneurysms. The primary purpose of the research was to examine the role that inflammation in the aortic wall plays in the development, prognosis, and management of aortic aneurysms. Material and methods: This prospective, non-randomized investigation analyzed the cytosolic levels of interleukin-1b, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) in the walls of 57 individuals with aneurysms. Study group 1 consisted of patients with ruptured aneurysms (n=11), whereas study group 2 included patients with no symptoms from their aneurysms (n=32). There were 14 kidney recipients in the control group. Result: The walls of rupture aneurysms were shown to have larger and more pronounced inflammatory processes as well as higher levels of the cytokines cytokine IL6(P
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
