Increased matrix metalloproteinase 9 activity correlates with flow-mediated intraluminal thrombus deposition and wall degeneration in human abdominal aortic aneurysm

OBJECTIVE: We have previously demonstrated that human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture occurs in zones of low wall shear stress where flow recirculation and intraluminal thrombus (ILT) deposition are increased. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is involved in the pathogenesis of AAA via its...
