The influence of intraluminal thrombus on abdominal aortic aneurysm wall stress.

Abstract

The presence of ILT reduced the PWS in all cases. In the ''intermediate'' AAAs our results showed a linear correlation between ILT relative volume and cents PWS. However, in ''large'' aneurysms no such correlation was found. This indicates that the degree of ILT influence on the reduction of PWS in ''large'' AAAs may be related to other factors such as the geometric configurations of the AAA.
