Abstract:
Objective To investigated the distribution of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), and to examine the influence of age, gender and aneurysm diameters on the ILT formation. Methods Morphological analysis of ILT in AAA of 103 consecutive patients was undertaken with helical CT angiography. ILT shape, distribution and thickness of ILT were recorded and analyzed in correlation with age, gender and aneurysm diameters. Results ILT were found in 66.9% of all the patients. ILT was always situated in the area away from the main axis of AAA. The incidence of ILT in female group (n=13) was much lower than that in male group (n=90) (15.5% vs 77.4%, P
