99m Tc-Annexin-V Functional Imaging of Luminal Thrombus Activity in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Abstract
Background— The mural thrombus of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is involved in aneurysm progression via several interdependent biological processes including platelet activation. 99mTc-annexin V... Data of the present study show that 99mTc-annexin-V permits functional imaging of mural thrombus renewal activity in vivo in an experimental model of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and ex vivo in...
