Acute thrombosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Of all the complications of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), complete acute thrombosis has received the least attention in the literature.

The management of a recent patient with an acutely thrombosed AAA prompted this review of the English-language literature for specific information regarding the diagnosis and treatment of AAA.
