The role of the clotting cascade in aortic aneurysm and associated cardiovascular events

在澳大利亚，每年大约有1000人死于腹主动脉的衰弱。大多数虚弱的动脉在早期就被识别出来，但目前还没有限制动脉虚弱进展的治疗方法。也没有模型可以预测与动脉虚弱相关的并发症。在目前的项目中，我们提出血栓在动脉衰弱的进展和并发症中的重要性。我们将进行研究，以确定新的治疗方法和对动脉虚弱的预测模型。

Weakening of the main abdominal artery is responsible for approximately 1000 deaths/ year in Australia. Most weakened arteries are identified at an early stage but there is no current therapy which limits the progression of artery weakening. There is also no model which predicts the complications associated with weakened arteries. In the current project we propose the importance of clot in progression and complications of weakened arteries. We will undertake studies to identify new therapies and a predictive model for weakened arteries.
