[0001] The invention specifically relates to a preparation method of an ascending aortic aneurysm animal model. Background technique
[0002] Over the past 30 years, the prevalence of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) has increased as the aging population has increased. The incidence of TAA in people over the age of 65 is approximately 3-4%, of which 60% are ascending aortic aneurysms (ATAA), predisposing patients to life-threatening complications such as aortic dissection or rupture. Current studies have shown that the formation mechanism of TAA is different from that of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and most thoracic aortic aneurysms are degenerative lesions. Pathologically, TAA exhibits matrix degeneration, loss of vascular smooth muscle, disruption of matrix elastic fibers, proteoglycan deposition, and infiltration of inflammatory cells (macrophages and T lymphocytes) in the aortic wall. During this process, accompanied by changes in the expression of m...
