BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Thromboembolic events are a common source of complications during Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC) treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Thrombus formation at the coil-parent artery interface is not commonly reported but is an important potential source of emboli. We describe nine cases in which thrombus propagated from GDCs into the parent artery during coil therapy of cer...

BACKGROUND We planned to investigate the relationship of thrombus burden with SYNTAX score in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 780 patients who underwent PPCI in our clinic due to STEMI. Clinical, laboratory, and demographic properties of the patients were recorded. Angiographic coronary thrombus burden was classified usi...

OBJECTIVE Plaque disruption does not always result in complete thrombotic occlusion. The mechanism of arterial thrombus propagation remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied how vascular wall thrombogenicity and blood flow reduction affect thrombus propagation using a rabbit model of single and repeated balloon injury. After balloon injury of the normal femoral artery, the blood flow wa...

Thromboembolism is a rare complication of primary nephortic syndrome. Both venous and arterial thrombosis might occur in steroid responsive and steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. This is the report of an infant with nephrotic syndrome and renovascular hypertension, complicated with asymptomatic intracardiac thrombus and managed appropriately with medical treatment.

Endothelial injury during microaterial anastomosis typically results in mural thrombus formation. However. endothelial cells produce various substances which suppress thrombus formation and main ta in normal vascular wall architecture by pereventing muscular proliferation. Therefore. in order to reduce the risk of thrombus formation following microarterial anastomoses. drugs which stimulate end...

INTRODUCTION The assessment of thrombus size following treatments directed at preventing thrombosis or enhancing its resolution has generally relied on physical or histological methods. This cross-sectional design imposes the need for increased numbers of animals for experiments. Micro-computed tomography (microCT) has been used to detect the presence of venous thrombus in experimental models b...

OBJECTIVES This study reports the incidence of, risk factors for, and management of left atrial (LA) thrombus documented by intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) during LA ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). BACKGROUND Thrombus formation is a risk associated with LA ablation procedures. METHODS Intracardiac echocardiography imaging was performed in 232 patients (184 men, average age 55 +/-...
