Abstract
Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening aortopathy with high mortality. To mimic spontaneous AD, investigate the pathogenesis of AD and develop novel therapeutic targets and measures, multiple AD experimental models have been generated, including drugs or chemicals induced experimental models, genetically modified experimental models, surgically or invasively induced experimental models, and ex vivo models. However, the perfect model of AD that replicates every aspect of the natural disease has not be generated yet. This review provides an overview of the experimental models used in AD preclinical research. The value and challenges of each in vivo and ex vivo model are discussed.Entities:
