Thrombus Grades
In order to more objectively and quantitatively characterize thrombus on a coronary angiogram, the PERFUSE study group developed the following thrombus grading system:[1]
TIMI Grade 0
No cineangiographic characteristics of thrombus present.
TIMI Thrombus Grade 1
Hazy, possible thrombus present. Angiography demonstrates characteristics such as reduced contrast density, haziness, irregular lesion contour, or a smooth convex "meniscus" at the site of total occlusion suggestive but not diagnostic of thrombus.
TIMI Thrombus Grade 2
Thrombus present – small size: Definite thrombus with greatest dimensions less than or equal to 1/2 vessel diameter.
TIMI Thrombus Grade 3
Thrombus present – moderate size: Definite thrombus but with greatest linear dimension greater than 1/2 but less than 2 vessel diameters.
TIMI Thrombus Grade 4
Thrombus present – large size: As in Grade 3 but with the largest dimension greater than or equal to 2 vessel diameters.
TIMI Thrombus Grade 5
Recent total occlusion, can involve some collateralization but usually does not involve extensive collateralization, tends to have a “beak” shape and a hazy edge or appearance of distince thrombus.
TIMI Thrombus Grade 6
Chronic total occlusion, usually involving extensive collateralization, tends to have distinct, blunt cut-off/edge and will generally clot up to the nearest proximal side branch.
Natural History, Complications, Prognosis
The presence of angiographically evident thrombus (AET) as assessed using the PERFUSE Grade described above is associated with embolization and impaired myocardial perfusion.[2][3]
