Platelet Aggregation Is Not Altered in Men with Aortic Aneurysms

• What is the clinical question being addressed? Ascending and abdominal aortic dilations have been associated with increased platelet activation response suggesting platelets as a potential medical target. • What is the main finding? This study found no higher platelet aggregation or increased frequencies of hyperresponsiveness of platelets in patients with ascending and abdominal aortic dilations.
