Pro-coagulant, pro-inflammatory and endothelial mediator levels in AAD patients and controls. AAD patients had higher levels of pro-coagulant mediators including CFIII, sP-sel and D-dimer (all p < 0.0001). Patients also had higher levels of pro-inflammatory mediators including TNF-α (p < 0.05), IL-6 (p < 0.05) and CRP (p < 0.0001) than controls. The endothelial mediators ICAM-1 and EN-1 were significantly lower in AAD patients than controls (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.05 respectively)
