Patient 3 sample acquisition and histomorphology. CT-angiogram and dotted lines demonstrate the approx. site of samples acquisition. The arrow marks the aneurysm sac incision during open repair. The histologic photos show a complete circular preparation of the aneurysm sac for HE (outer picture) and EVG (inner picture). Samples are oriented in line with the CT-angiogram. The left side of the aneurysm is covered with notable ILT ( +), whereas only minimal ILT seen on the right part of the aneurysm sac. The histomorphology comparing both sides of the aneurysm sac appears similar (cutouts) (A = anterior, P = posterior, R = right, L = left, H = head, T = tail) (scale bar 5 mm each, upper bar = inner photo)
