Correlation of Intraluminal Thrombus Deposition, Biomechanics, and Hemodynamics with Surface Growth and Rupture in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm-Application in a Clinical Paradigm

High local surface growth correlates with rupture site and could therefore potentially become a marker of rupture risk. The ongoing application of this methodology to a large cohort of AAA patients will focus on identifying characteristic features of AAA regions that present high surface growth in follow-up evaluations, to assist in improved rupture risk estimation.
