Summary

This study looks at whether evolocumab, a drug that lowers bad cholesterol, changes the cells in the wall of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. About 44 people scheduled for aneurysm repair will get either the drug or a placebo before surgery. Researchers will then compare the tissue removed during surgery to see if the drug reduces inflammation or other harmful changes.
