Effect of intraluminal thrombus on abdominal aortic aneurysm wall stress.
J Vasc Surg. 1997; (4): 602-8
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) rupture when the wall stress exceeds the strength of the vascular tissue. Intraluminal thrombus may absorb tension and reduce AAA wall stress. This study was performed to test the hypothesis that intraluminal thrombus can significantly reduce AAA wall stress.
