Altered shear stress, turbulent flow, and endothelial dysfunction promote thrombus formation and modulate systemic hemostasis via platelet activation and the von Willebrand factor\u2013ADAMTS13 axis. The Total Thrombus-Formation Analysis System (T-TAS) is a microfluidic, flow-dependent assay that quantitatively evaluates thrombus formation under physiological shear conditions. Although studied in various cardiovascular contexts, its application in aortopathies remains largely unexplored, and no prospective studies have validated its clinical utility. Integrating T-TAS with computational haemodynamic approaches, such as two-way fluid\u2013structure interaction simulations, enables assessment of the interplay between blood flow, vessel wall mechanics, pulse wave propagation, and local shear patterns. Patient-specific modelling, including individualized flow profiles, pressure distributions, and wall properties, may enhance mechanistic insights. Genetic variants in Fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1), Transforming Growth Factor Beta Receptor 1\/2 (TGFBR1\/2), Actin Alpha 2 (ACTA 2), and Myosin Heavy Chain 11 (MYH11) further contribute to structural vascular heterogeneity and diverse systemic haemostatic phenotypes, highlighting the need for personalized assessment. T-TAS should currently be considered an exploratory research tool rather than a validated diagnostic or prognostic method. This narrative review proposes a hypothesis-generating framework integrating structural, haemodynamic, molecular, and functional perspectives. Combining flow-based thrombosis assays with advanced modelling may inform future translational studies, improve mechanistic understanding of thrombus formation, and support personalized risk stratification and management in patients with thoracic aortopathies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27073144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,30]],"date-time":"2026-03-30T15:20:47Z","timestamp":1774884047000},"page":"3144","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Total Thrombus-Formation Analysis System (T-TAS) in Aortopathies: A Conceptual and Potential Framework to Spatial Heterogeneity and Regional Context"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8964-5520","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sebastian","family":"Krych","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac, Vascular and Endovascular Surgery and Transplantology, School of Medical Sciences in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesia, Marii Sk\u0142odowskiej-Curie 9, 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"},{"name":"Student\u2019s Scientific Society, Department of Cardiac, Vascular and Endovascular Surgery and Transplantology, School of Medical Sciences in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesia, Marii Sk\u0142odowskiej-Curie 9, 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-8474-8213","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julia","family":"Gniewek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student\u2019s Scientific Society, Department of Cardiac, Vascular and Endovascular Surgery and Transplantology, School of Medical Sciences in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesia, Marii Sk\u0142odowskiej-Curie 9, 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marek","family":"Kolbowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physical Culture Sciences, University of Szczecin, Piastow 40b\/6, 71-065 Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5005-6721","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"St\u0119pie\u0144-S\u0142odkowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physical Culture Sciences, University of Szczecin, Piastow 40b\/6, 71-065 Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4710-4416","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Adamczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Spatial Management and Socio-Economic Geography, University of Szczecin, Mickiewicza 64, 71-101 Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8945-7351","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomasz","family":"Hrapkowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac, Vascular and Endovascular Surgery and Transplantology, School of Medical Sciences in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesia, Marii Sk\u0142odowskiej-Curie 9, 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4025-3750","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pawe\u0142","family":"Kowalczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Nutrition, The Kielanowski Institute of Animal Physiology and Nutrition, Polish Academy of Sciences, Instytucka 3, 05-100 Jab\u0142onna, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2873","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehu281","article-title":"2014 ESC Guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of aortic diseases: Document covering acute and chronic aortic diseases of the thoracic and abdominal aorta of the adult","volume":"35","author":"Erbel","year":"2014","journal-title":"Eur.
