简介
Objective
The relationship between intraluminal thrombus (ILT) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth and rupture risk remains ambiguous. Studies have shown a limited effect of antiplatelet therapy on ILT size, whereas the impact of anticoagulant therapy on ILT is unresolved. This study aims to evaluate an association between antithrombotic therapy and ILT size assessed with three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasound (3D-CEUS) examination in a cohort of patients with AAA.
Methods
In a cross-sectional study, 309 patients with small AAAs were examined with 3D-CEUS. Patients were divided into three groups based on prescribed antithrombotic therapy: anticoagulant (n = 36), antiplatelet (n = 222), and no antithrombotic therapy (n = 51). Patient ILT size was calculated in volume and thickness and compared between the three groups.
Results
Patients on anticoagulants had a significantly lower …
