Mitochondrial dysfunction in aortic aneurysm and dissection: mechanisms and therapeutic implications
Abstract · CC BY
Aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) are life-threatening vascular diseases associated with progressive aortic wall degeneration and a high risk of rupture. Despite advances in surgical and endovascular techniques, effective disease-modifying pharmacological therapies remain limited.
