Scientists probe if 'Old' proteins weaken blood vessels
NCT ID NCT02784769
Summary
This study aimed to understand if the natural aging of structural proteins in blood vessel walls plays a role in causing aortic aneurysms. Researchers analyzed tissue and blood samples from 24 patients who were already scheduled for surgery to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The goal was to gather knowledge about the disease process, not to test a new treatment.
