Correlations between serum homocysteine (Hcy) level and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) size, intraluminal thrombus thickness (ILT), and other parameters in control samples.

Parameter	Pearson's correlation coefficient	p
Hcy vs maximum AAA size	-0.952	0.575
Hcy vs ILT thickness	-0.117	0.492
Maximum AAA diameter vs ILT thickness	0.688	$\underset{\_}{0.0001}$
Hcy vs TF (B1)	0.653	$\underset{\_}{0.0001}$
Hcy vs t-PA (A)	0.583	$\underset{\_}{0.0001}$

TF, tissue factor; t-PA, tissue plasminogen activator. Measurement units are given in Figure 1. Underlined values show significant correlations. A = wall adjacent to thick thrombus segment; B1 = thin thrombus section.
