An uncommon case of arterial aneurysms association with high plasma levels of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin

An uncommon case of arterial aneurysms association with high plasma levels of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin

The association of an axillary artery aneurysm and an abdominal aortic aneurysm is extremely rare. In this study, we describe this association in a 69 year-old-man. We measured this patient’s metalloproteinases (MMPs) and Neutrophil Gelatinase - Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) levels over a three years...
