Overview
The Thrombus of coronary arteries occurs when the lumen, of the artery starts becoming smaller and creates a narrowed segment in which the blood flow clots slowly in the artery. This phenomenum in coronary artery decreases the perfusion and may cause necrosis which may lead to a heart attack if not treated.[1]
Definition
The coronary artery thrombus may be defined as an occlusion or blockage of blood flow within a vessel due to a clot.[1]
Pathophysiology
Clinical Significance
- The location of the thrombosis is clinically relevant once the infarction may be subclinical or not.[2]
- Coronary thrombosis may be a complication related to drug-eluting stents.[2]
