SUMMARY

Aims: Abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA) is a localized dilation of the abdominal aorta that may rupture and cause sudden death. In Japan, "aortic aneurysm and dissection" ranks around the 10th leading cause of mortality. Recent studies have shown that clonal hematopoiesis (CH), an age-related expansion of hematopoietic stem cells carrying somatic mutations in genes such as DNMT3A, TET2, ASXL1, PPM1D, JAK2, SF3B1, SRSF2, and TP53, can promote atherosclerosis and thrombosis, contributing to cardiovascular disease. While such mutations are common in patients with atherosclerotic disease and heart failure, their role in AAA remains unclear. This study aims to establish an AAA patient database and clarify how CH affects disease severity and treatment response.

Methods: target capture sequencing

Participants/Materials: Forty-four patients underwent their first surgical repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm at Nagoya University Hospital. AAA (including both fusiform and saccular types) is defined as an abdominal aortic diameter of ≥3 cm on CT imaging.
