Aortic Remodeling and Thrombus Deposition in Murine Aneurysms and Dissections

• Murine models can be used to examine the pathophysiology of aortic diseases, including aortic aneurysms and dissections
• The Vevo high frequency ultrasound systems can be used to collect 4-dimensional images of murine aortic aneurysms and dissections noninvasively
• Histology can be used to quantify changes in extracellular matrix composition of murine arteries
• Scanning electron microscopy can be used to evaluate red blood cell morphology and fibrin deposition in constantly remodeling thrombus
