Core Tip
Core Tip: This manuscript explores diverse pathophysiologic pathways (inflammation, atherosclerosis and immune system), varied treatment methods (pharmacological, radiation and surgical), and associated factors like inflammatory markers [transforming growth factor-β, interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-, matrix metalloproteinase-2, IL-6, IL-8]. Genetic disorders linked to aortic aneurysms (AA) include Marfan syndrome, Ehler-Danlos syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, Cantu syndrome, and JAK-2 mutation. Approaches such as Low laser irradiation, photobiomodulation, UV-B irradiation may impact AA prevention and shrinkage. Medications like Canakinumab, Paricalcitol, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ agonist and mesenchymal stem cell transplantation are currently under investigation. Additionally, Different minimally invasive, endovascular surgical methods are highlighted.
