Approximately 5% of men and 1% of women aged over 60 years develop weakening of the main abdominal artery. Currently the management of artery weakening is focused on surgery with no effective medications available. In this study we will assess the role of a novel pathway in artery weakening. Improved understanding of the mechanisms causing artery degeneration is crucial to target the development of better ways to treat this common problem.

大约5%的男性和1%的60岁以上的女性发展为腹部主动脉弱化。目前，动脉弱化的管理集中在手术上，没有有效的药物可用。在这项研究中，我们将评估一种新的途径在动脉弱化中的作用。更好地理解导致动脉变性的机制对于开发更好的方法来治疗这一常见问题至关重要。
