Current Mouse Models of Intracranial Aneurysms: Analysis of Pharmacological Agents Used to Induce Aneurysms and Their Impact on Translational Research

Journal of the American Heart Association

Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are rare vascular lesions that are more frequently found in women. All existing animal models need some pharmacological treatments, surgical interventions, or both to develop IAs, which is different from the spontaneous and natural development of aneurysms under the influence of the classical risk factors.

Genetic Insights Into Hemorrhagic Stroke and Vascular Malformations: Pathogenesis and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies

Stroke Journal

Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs), and intracranial aneurysms are major causes of hemorrhagic stroke, yet noninvasive therapies to prevent growth or rupture are lacking. Due to the genetic overlap, these advancements may also offer future therapeutic strategies for intracranial aneurysms.

Advances and challenges in regenerative therapies for abdominal aortic aneurysm

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a significant source of mortality worldwide and carries a mortality of greater than 80% after rupture. Despite extensive efforts to develop pharmacological treatments, there is currently no effective agent to prevent aneurysm growth and rupture.

A bibliometric analysis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (2014–2024)

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundAbdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized bulge of the abdominal aorta, which mainly manifests as a pulsatile mass in the abdomen. Once an abdominal aortic aneurysm ruptures, the patient's life is seriously endangered. Surgery is the preferred treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Minimally Invasive Vascular Disease Treatments

CTVS

Research shows that in recent years almost half of all adults in the United States have been living with heart disease, one of the most prominent forms of vascular disease. Common examples of vascular disease are aneurysms (a dangerous bulge in an artery wall), atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the… Source
