Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. differences in gene expression of ruptured and unruptured aneurysmal biopsies and control tissue 2. changes in cell types or vessel wall components of ruptured and unruptured aneurysmal biopsies and control tissue 3. correlation of the expression of proteins of interest with the size/stage of development of the aneurysm. | — |
