Recent basic and clinical research has established a link between the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). The discovery of the influence of MMPs on in vitro and in vivo aneurysm development has yielded promising information that may eventually decode the pathogenetic factors affecting the initiation and growth rate of AAAs. In this review, an analysis of MMPs involved in AAA disease is presented, including the data from recent research studies and planned clinical drug trails designed to retard the AAA growth by inhibiting MMP activity.
