Abstract [en]

The pathological process behind abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation is poorly understood and difficult to study. The aim of the thesis was to study the pathophysiology of AAA formation with positron emission tomography (PET) technology, a molecular imaging technique, allowing in vivo studies of pathophysiological changes.

In study I 18F-FDG, a glucose analogue, was tested. It had previously been reported as a useful tracer studying inflammation in AAAs. These studies included, however, foremost large, symptomatic, and inflammatory AAAs. In the present study on five small and seven large asymptomatic AAAs, no increase in 18F-FDG uptake could be revealed in vivo.

In study II 11C-PK11195, a macrophage tracer, and 11C-D-deprenyl, an unspecific inflammatory tracer, previously never tested on asymptomatic AAAs, were tested in vivo on five and 10 AAA-patients respectively, without signs of increased levels of inflammatory activity in the aorta.

In study III several tracers were screened in vitro through autoradiography on AAA tissue. [18F]fluciclatide, targeting the integrin αVβ3 receptor upregulated in angiogenesis, was the only tracer with an increased uptake.

In study IV [18F]fluciclatide-autoradiography was performed on AAA tissue from five patients and non-aneurysmal aortic tissue obtained from five age and sex matched organ donors. The study showed a 56% increased specific uptake in AAA, although not significant (P=0.136). Immunohistochemical revealed inflammatory cell foci in close relation to the vessels.

In conclusion, PET has potential to elucidate the pathophysiology of AAA formation. For the large group of small asymptomatic AAAs, 18F-FDG is not suitable, as the chronic inflammation in asymptomatic AAA is not sufficiently metabolically active. Furthermore, 11C-PK11195 and 11C-D-deprenyl were unable to show the chronic inflammation seen in asymptomatic AAA.

The interesting finding with uptake of [18F]fluciclatide showed that angiogenesis may be imaged in large asymptomatic AAAs in vitro, through the integrin αVβ3 receptor. Thus, it is likely that future studies of the role of angiogenesis in AAA formation in vivo, in small AAAs, could use this target site. The development of an integrin αVβ3 receptor tracer, preferably with higher affinity, is in progress for further in vitro and in vivo studies.
