CsA prevents AAA development in the rat elastase and the mouse CaCl₂ models.

<p>A. Macroscopic pictures of representative rat AAAs 14 days after elastase perfusion. B. External diameter increase at 14 days as a percentage of AAA diameters just after elastase perfusion. C. Macroscopic pictures of mouse AAAs at 14 day. D. Mouse external and internal aortic diameter quantification. Open circles represent individual values from vehicle- and CsA-treated animals and closed circles represent means±SD. *P<.05, **P<0.01 <i>vs</i> vehicle.
