Case Study 1
Shown below are an animated image and a static image depicting PERFUSE grade 6 thrombus in the RCA. Encircled in yellow in the image on the right is the thrombus area where you can notice an abrupt blunt cut-off appearance beyond which no dye is penetrating the artery.
Shown below are an animated image and a static image of the same case depicting a collateral artery arising from the left system and supplying the right side of the heart. The presence of a collateral artery is a sign that the previously noted thrombus in the RCA is a chronic thrombus.
Shown below are an animated image and a static image of the same previous case of PERFUSE grade 6 thrombus in the RCA following PCI. Outlined in yellow in the image on the right is the path of the dye in the patent RCA following PCI.
