In virtually any aneurysm of clinically important size intraluminal thrombus ILT can be found1 2 It is believed that the ILT is a natural phenomenon that is based on the deposition of blood components when an abdominal aortic aneurysm AAA grows to a certain size. A mural crescentic thrombus is seen with a linear contrast streak seen extending from the lumen into the mural thrombus indicative of thrombus fissuration.

The thrombus was located in the abdominal aorta Gaylis 1958.
Management of aortic aneurysm with mural thrombus. Whether the presence of ILT has any influence on the natural history of the AAA continues to be a matter of debate. Management ranged from anticoagulation for sessile small thrombus to endovascular stenting or stent grafting for large or nonvisceral aortic thrombus and open surgical aortic thrombectomy for visceral thoracoabdominal thrombus. Mural calcifications are noted.
Gaylis described the first case of PAMT. 1 concluded that the new concept of endotension following endovascular repair of aneurysms EVAR can also be applied to thrombosed aneurysm. Primary aortic mural thrombus PAMT is defined as a thrombus formation in a morphologically normal aorta without any evidence of cardiac source.
Dilated chronic heart aneurism with mural thrombus. The relative thrombus area was then calculated as OA-IAOU 100. Final DiagnosisDistal aortic aneurysm with intraluminal thrombus.
Mural thrombus is formation of thrombus in an artery most commonly the aorta. Early detection and prophylactic repair is the ideal management. AAA arises secondary to degeneration of the media with atherosclerotic.
It is made by transgenic bacteria which help in converting plasminogen in the clot-dissolving enzyme. Four hundred and sixteen of the patients with AAA were eligible for analysis. Management in Thoracic Aorta Mural Thrombi.
Evidence Based Medicine and Controversy. Certain anticoagulants collected from animals are also useful for dissolving fibrin. Renewal of mural thrombus releases plasma markers and is involved in aortic abdominal aneurysm evolution.
In another study of patients with an anterior MI the presence of an LV mural thrombus identified by noncontrast TTE increased the incidence of an embolic event odds ratio 55 95 Management of asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm. As mural thrombi organize they form characteristic alternating layers of fibrin and trapped cells called. Fusiform aneurysmal dilatation of the infrarenal aorta measuring about 7x6 cm in its maximum axial diameters and extends for about 13 cm in length.
Dai J Louedec L Philippe M et al. Systematic anticoagulation therapy has been helpful in treating mural thrombus especially when it is in the aorta. Despite this role in supporting the inflammatory and proteolytic mechanisms of AAA pathogenesis the mural thrombus has repeatedly been suggested to protect the aneurysm from rupture by reducing the peak wall stress and altering wall stress distribution.
These questions need to be assessed with hypothesis-driven experiments and clinical outcomes to determine if thrombus composition can be used as a predictive indicator of aneurysm stability or eminent wall failure and. If a patients condition indicates that the thrombus is unstable anticoagulants may be considered to reduce thrombus size proteolytic injury of the aortic wall and aneurysm growth. Clot and calcific material removed from a AAA during surgery.
In the group with AAAs measuring 30-34 mm 42 had ILT with a mean relative size of 12 of the outer area. The management of mural thrombus in non-atherosclerotic aorta represents a challenge because no guidelines are available and should be individualized. The association between white thrombus in the aorta and.
These authors concluded that the mural thrombus of an aneurysm does not significantly decrease the pressure on the aneurysm wall even in a thrombosed aneurysm. Primary disease anticoagulation treatment surgical thrombectomy to solve embolic complications and endovascularclassical surgery to exclude the thrombus from the aorta. This concept describing pressurization of the aneurysm wall demonstrates the need for surveillance to identify continued aneurysm.
The therapeutic approach should include the triple aspects of aortic mural thrombus. The mean size of the AAA was 406 mm and the mean observation time was 178 years. Am J Pathol 2006.
If the aneurysm is not at a size that requires treatment mural thrombus will only be addressed if symptoms occur. Touat Z Ollivier V Dai J et al. DiscussionA potential complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm AAA is rupture which can cause exsanguinating hemorrhage and if it involves its branches can lead to severe visceral ischemia and damage.
Even with contemporary management the mortality of repair for ruptured aortic aneurysm remains extremely high. If there is an aortic aneurysm the clot is usually removed or excluded as part of aortic aneurysm treatment. Recently Dalal et al.
Effect of blocking platelet activation with AZD6140 on development of abdominal aortic aneurysm in a rat aneurysmal model. Aortic aneurysm with extensive mural thrombus.
