There is gaining popularity in the use of single-cell technology and analysis in studying the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). As there are no current pharmacologic therapies for impeding aneurysm growth or preventing AAA rupture, identifying key pathways involved in AAA formation is critical for the development of future therapies. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology provides an unbiased and global view of transcriptomic characteristics within each of the major cell types in aneurysmal tissues. In this brief review, we examine the current literature utilizing scRNA-seq for the analysis of AAA and discuss trends and future utility of this technology.

Single-cell RNA sequencing provides novel insights to pathologic pathways in abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a relatively common vascular pathology of the elderly with high morbidity potential. Irreversible degeneration of the aortic wall leads to lethal rupture if left untreated. Nearly all AAAs contain intraluminal thrombus (ILT) to a varying degree, yet the mechanisms explaining how thrombosis is disturbed in AAA are relatively unknown. This review examined the thrombotic complications associated with AAA, the impact of thrombosis on AAA surgical outcomes and AAA pathogenesis, and the use of antithrombotic therapy in the management of this disease.
