Low-level laser irradiation inhibits abdominal aortic aneurysm progression in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.

What the authors concluded

At 4 weeks, seven of 15 non-irradiated, but none of the 13 LLLI, mice had aneurysmal dilatation in the suprarenal aneurysm-prone segments that had progressed to >or=50% increase in maximal cross-sectional diameter (CSD) over baseline (P = 0.005 by Fisher's exact test). The mean CSD of the suprarenal segments (normalized individually to inter-renal control segments) was also significantly lower i
