Overview

In TIMI Grade 5 thrombus, a recent total occlusion is present. ^[1]

The characteristics of a recent total occlusion are:

There is often a beak like appearance of the occlusion. Chronic occlusions tend to have a more abrupt or straight appearance.
The clot has not propagated backward to the most distal branch.
Some collaterals may be present, but usually there are not extensive collaterals.

Example

Shown below are an animated image and a static image depicting TIMI grade 5 thrombus in the RCA. Outlined in yellow in the image on the right is the beak like appearance of the occlusion.
