    Purpose: Our previous computer models suggested that intraluminal thrombus (ILT) within an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) attenuates oxygen diffusion to the AAA wall, possibly causing localized hypoxia and contributing to wall weakening. The purpose of this work was to investigate this possibility. Methods: In one arm of this study, patients with AAA were placed in one of two groups: (1) those with an ILT of 4- mm or greater thickness on the anterior surface or (2) those with little (< 4 mm) or no ILT at this site. During surgical resection but before aortic cross-clamping, a needle-type polarographic partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) electrode was inserted into the wall of the exposed AAA, and the PO2 was measured.…
