Abstract
Introduction
We attempt to investigate if the mechanical properties of an intraluminal thrombus (ILT) could be assessed non-invasively through modern imaging techniques. Thrombus compressibility and deformation are evaluated in vivo.
Report
Five patients underwent electrocardiographically (ECG) gated computed tomography scan during surveillance of their abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). ILT volumes and cross-sectional areas during peak systole and end diastole were recorded and found to remain constant.
Discussion
ILT elastic behaviour can be estimated non-invasively. Under physiologic arterial pressure, an ILT is incompressible and does not deform longitudinally.
