Rabbit aortic aneurysm model with enlarging diameter capable of better mimicking human aortic aneurysm disease.
The self-healing phenomenon can be found in the elastase-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) model, and an enlarging AAA model was successfully induced by coarctation. Unfortunately, aortic coarctation in these enlarging models is generally not found in human AAA disease. This study aimed to cre...
