Innflammation-, apoptosis- and mitophagy-related gene expression in aneurismatic and nob-affected medial layer of human thoracic aorta

Abstract

Background and Aims : Aortic aneurysm is one of the main causes of cardiovascular surgery. An inflammatory etiology is emerged increasingly as a pathologic background for aortic aneurysms dissection. This study was undertaken to reveal association between thoracic aneurism, inflammation, apoptosis and mitophagy at the gene expression level.
