In short, yes. If the aneurysm has areas where blood can pool or slow, there is an increased likelihood for clotting. Furthermore, the internal surface of the aneurysm is likely atherosclerotic and not smooth like the inside of an ideal blood vessel. This will also increase the risk for causing cells to be damaged and the clotting cascade to be triggered.
