Abstract Background Matrix metalloproteinases MMPs constitute a family of zinc-dependent proteases endopeptidases whose catalytic action is the degradation of the extracellular matrix components. In addition they play the major role in the degradation of collagen and in the process of tissue remodeling. The present clinical study investigated blood serum levels of metalloproteinases- I -2 -3 and -9 in patients with acute and chronic aortic dissection thoracic aortic aneurysm and acute myocardial ischemia .
