Age and gender are shown for all controls and patients. Aneurysm related characteristics are shown for patients when available: Aneurysm size (mm), known genetic causes of aneurysm, smoking history, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and statin use pre surgery. Patients are coded RAAA 1–8 if the tissue derived from a ruptured aneurysm, and NRAAA1–13 in case of elective aneurysm repair. Patients whose tissue was collected during open repair post-EVAR are marked with an additional + . Patient who’s tissue was collected after a suprarenal repair following an infrarenal repair is marked with #.
