Acute thrombosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm

Texas Heart Institute Journal

Abstract

Of all the complications of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), complete acute thrombosis has received the least attention in the literature. Its infrequent occurrence, no doubt, accounts for the paucity of reports. The management of a recent patient with an acutely thrombosed AAA prompted this review of the English-language literature for specific information regarding the diagnosis and treatment of AAA.
