In the decision for surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), the maximum diameter is the main factor. Several studies have concluded that the diameter may not be reliable as rupture risk criterion for the individual patient and wall stress was found to have a higher sensitivity and specificity. The AAA wall stress may also be an influential factor in growth of the AAA. This study investigates the effect of intraluminal thrombus on the wall stress and growth rate of aneurysms, using both idealized and patient-specific AAA models in wall stress computations.
