Abdominal aneurysm sac thrombus CT density and volume after EVAR: which association with underlying endoleak?

Background: Our aim was to analyse abdominal aneurysm sac thrombus density and volume on computed tomography (CT) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

Methods: Patients who underwent EVAR between January 2005 and December 2010 and had at least four follow-up CT exams available over the first five years of follow-up were included in this retrospective single-centre study. Thrombus density and aneurysm sac volume were calculated on unenhanced CT scans.
