Tropoelastin: an in vivo imaging marker of dysfunctional matrix turnover during abdominal aortic dilation

AIMS: Dysfunctional matrix turnover is present at sites of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and leads to the accumulation of monomeric tropoelastin rather than cross-linked elastin. We used a gadolinium-based tropoelastin-specific magnetic resonance contrast agent (Gd-TESMA) to test whether quantifyi...
