Abstract

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening vascular disease. Despite advancements in understanding the pathogenesis of AAA, significant knowledge gaps persist. Recent evidence increasingly implicates mitochondrial dysfunction as a contributing factor that exacerbates AAA, inducing further expansion of aneurysm, rupture, and subsequent death. This review summarizes the latest research findings and theories associated with AAA pathogenesis, with a particular focus on mitochondrial dysfunction in AAA, including mitochondrial quality control, mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial morphology, oxidation and antioxidation, normal functioning of the respiratory chain, mitochondrial mutations, and the regulation of other mitochondrial signaling pathways. Moreover, we highlight potential medical interventions based on regulating mitochondrial function for AAA treatment.

期刊介绍： Current Vascular Pharmacology publishes clinical and research-based reviews/mini-reviews, original research articles, letters, debates, drug clinical trial studies and guest edited issues to update all those concerned with the treatment of vascular disease, bridging the gap between clinical practice and ongoing research. Vascular disease is the commonest cause of death in Westernized countries and its incidence is on the increase in developing countries. It follows that considerable research is directed at establishing effective treatment for acute vascular events. Long-term treatment has also received considerable attention (e.g. for symptomatic relief). Furthermore, effective prevention, whether primary or secondary, is backed by the findings of several landmark trials. Vascular disease is a complex field with primary care physicians and nurse practitioners as well as several specialties involved. The latter include cardiology, vascular and cardio thoracic surgery, general medicine, radiology, clinical pharmacology and neurology (stroke units).
