Analysis of vessel wall morphology, blood flow velocity, and the hemostatic system in a patient with a large intracoronary thrombus

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis
Michael HaudeRaimund Erbel

Abstract

A patient with AMI caused by a large thrombus in the proximal LAD was successfully treated with PTCA and an intracoronary lysis combined with the platelet-receptor antagonist c7E3. Analysis of cellular hemostasis after 1 and 6 months revealed a sustained platelet activation despite combined anti-platelet therapy with ASA and ticlopidine. A progredient slow-flow phenomenon appeared during control angiographies, confirmed by intracoronary Doppler examination.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
