Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To identify differences in the expression of certain structural proteins and angiogenic growth factors in vessel tissues that represent different phases of the process of intracranial aneurysm formation and rupture: normal vessel wall, intact (unruptured) aneurysm wall, and ruptured vessel wall.
