Proteomic analysis of the abdominal aortic aneurysm wall

Abstract

We found a significant difference in the proteome of the AAA tissue and non-dilated aortic tissue. We demonstrated that the AAA proteome is considerably richer and more varied than the healthy and atherosclerotic aorta. We believe that our results clearly demonstrate a completely different etiopathogenesis of atherosclerosis and aneurismal disease.
