Carriage rate frequencies (%) of VEGF 936 C/T in patients with ^*IRF and ^**IAAA, and VEGF I/D in patients with/without ureteral obstruction, conservative treatment, and deep vein thrombosis^&.

Serum VEGF levels in 17 patients with chronic periaortitis (CP) and 11 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (HC).

<p><b>VEGF tended to be higher in the CP group, but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.081).</b></p
