Abstract
Mechanisms of abdominal aortic aneurysm degeneration have been the subject of intense investigation over the last 20 years. As noted in Fig. 4.1, the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm disease involves a symphony of interactions between genetic risk, environmental exposures, and interplay between aortic mural inflammation, angiogenesis, smooth muscle cell and elastin depletion, wall strain, and dysfunctional and insufficient regenerative responses of the extracellular matrix [1–10] (Table 4. 1).
