Aims While angiotensin II-infused mice are the most popular model for preclinical aneurysm research, representative data on incidence, severity, and mortality of dissecting abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) have never been established, and the influence of confounding factors is unknown. Methods and Results We performed a meta-analysis including 194 manuscripts representing 1679 saline-infused, 4729 non-treated angiotensin II-infused, and 4057 treated angiotensin II-infused mice. Incidence (60%) and mortality (20%) rates are reported overall as well as for grade I (22%), grade II (26%), grade III (29%), and grade IV (24%) aneurysms. Dissecting AAA incidence was significantly (P
