Intraluminal Thrombus has a selective Influence on Matrix Metalloproteinases and Their inhibitors (tissue inhibitors of Matrix Metalloproteinases) in the wall of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Background: The influence of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) on the proteolytic environment within the wall of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is unknown. This is the first study to examine the correlation between ILT thickness and the levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their natural inhi...
