| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Histological examination revealed chronic inflammation and angiogenesis / lymphangiogenesis in the intima and tunica media of the aortic aneurysm. Inflammatory cells, lymphangiogenesis, and lymphatic stasis were histologically observed in sites where lymphatic luminescence was remarkably evoked by ICG fluorescence imaging examination of the aortic wall. It was suggested that chronic inflammation and lymphangiogenesis are related to development and increase of aortic aneurysm. The distribution of wall shear stress was not related to lymphangiogenesis or chronic inflammation. The new antiplatelet drug (K-134) was effective in suppressing the expansion and preventing rupture of the aneurysm in a rat aneurysm model.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
動脈瘤の発生や破裂にメカニズムとして、瘤壁の血流低下、低酸素状態、慢性炎症の持続が負のサイクルとなって影響していることが証明された。血流力学的影響は明らかにできなかったが、まだ調査の余地がある。血流改善と抗炎症作用を有する抗血小板薬（K-134）がラット動脈瘤モデルでは、瘤径拡大抑制や破裂予防効果があることを証明できた。今後、ヒトの動脈瘤でも同様の効果が期待でき、将来は動脈瘤を手術することなく治療できるようになる希望が得られた。
