The a disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) family of metalloproteases possesses a proteolytic function and activates various inflammatory factors. Their expression pattern in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is as yet unknown. The aim of this study was to make a detailed analysis of the expression of ADAMs 8, 9, 10, 12, 15 and 17, and their tissue inhibitors of metalloprotease (TIMP)-1 and TIMP-3 in patients with AAA.
