However, the effect of thrombus burden on outcomes following physician modified endografts (PMEGs) remains unknown. This study aimed to assess the volume and morphology of thrombus burden and the effect on outcomes following PMEG for juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent PMEG from 2009 to 2021 in a single centre, investigational device exemption trial. Thrombus burden was measured as a percentage of luminal volume using pre-operative computed tomography scans from the lowest renal artery to the level of the aortic bifurcation using centreline reconstructive software.

Type II endoleak was more frequently observed in those with low thrombus burden (60.0% vs. 33.3%; p = .008) and persisted after multivariate analysis (odds ratio 2.5, 95% confidence interval 1.1 - 5.8), but there were no other significant differences in peri-operative adverse events or late outcomes-including sac behaviour, freedom from re-intervention, and overall survival-when stratifying thrombus burden by quantitative or qualitative measures. There were no observed differences in operative characteristics or anatomical characteristics, including landing zone characteristics and rates of inferior mesenteric artery patency.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>While thrombus burden and morphology were not associated with adverse peri-operative events or survival, low thrombus burden was associated with an increase in type II endoleak.
