Aneurysm occlusion by intraluminal thrombus formation is the desired effect of all endovascular treatments. Intraluminal thrombus may, however, recanalize and be absorbed, unless it is infiltrated by cells that turn it into fibrous tissue (neointima). Because ruptured aneurysm walls are characterized by loss of smooth muscle cells, we assessed the impact of mural cell loss on wall remodeling of thrombosed aneurysms and investigated whether neointima formation could be enhanced by direct transplantation of cells into the thrombus.
