Overview
In PERFUSE Grade 6 thrombus, a chronic total occlusion is present.[1]
Characteristics of a Chronic Total Occlusion
- The occlusion does not have a "beak like" appearance, and the occlusion has a blunt cut-off/edge
- Extensive collaterals may be present
- The clot generally propagates backwards up the proximal vessel to the nearest proximal side branch
