Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are predisposed to cardiovascular events and often experience continual expansion of their aneurysm. Cardiovascular events and expansion rates are positively correlated with aneurysm size. AAA is usually associated with intraluminal thrombus, which has previously been implicated in AAA pathogenesis. The aims of this study were to prospectively assess the association of infra-renal abdominal aortic thrombus volume with cardiovascular events and AAA growth. 98 patients with AAAs underwent computed tomography angiography (CTA). The volume of infra-renal aorta thrombus was measured by a previously validated technique. Patients were followed prospectively for a median of 3 (inter-quartile range 2.0–3.6) years and cardiovascular events (non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, amputation and cardiovascular death) recorded. 39 of the original patients underwent repeat CTA a median of 1.5 (inter-quartile range, 1.1–3.3) years after entry to the study. Kaplan-Meier and Cox-proportional analysis were used to examine the association of aortic thrombus with cardiovascular events and average weighted AAA growth. A total of 28 cardiovascular event occurred during follow-up. The incidence of cardiovascular events was 23.4 and 49.2% for patients with small (<median) and large (≥median) volumes of aortic thrombus, respectively, at 4 years (p=0.040). AAA thrombus volume ≥median was associated with increased cardiovascular events (RR 2.8, 95% CI 1.01– 5.24) independent of other risk factors including initial AAA diameter, but only of borderline significance when patients were censored at the time of AAA repair (RR 2.35, 95% CI 0.98–5.63). In the sub-set of patients with CTA follow-up median annual increase in AAA volume was 5.1cm3 (inter-quartile range 0.8–10.3). Annual AAA volume increase was positively correlated with initial AAA diameter (r=0.44, p=0.006) and thrombus volume (r=0.50, p=0.001). Aortic thrombus volume ≥median was associated with rapid AAA volume increase (≥5cm/year), independent of initial aortic diameter (OR 15.0, 95% CI 1.9–115.7, p=0.009). In this small cohort infra-renal aortic thrombus volume was associated with the incidence of cardiovascular events and AAA progression. These results need to be confirmed and mechanisms underlying the associations clarified in large further studies.
