Abstract

The significance of organizing thrombosis was investigated in 121 cases of sudden death with atherosclerotic heart disease. Organizing thrombosis was observed in one-third of the cases, and sites at which it was present showed a higher prevalence of acute lesions -- thrombus, plaque rupture, and hemorrhage -- than sites at which it was not present. Acute and subacute coronary lesions were almost entirely restricted to vessels with 75% or greater obstruction. Evidence was presented suggesting that the organization of thrombosis in the coronary arteries was a more extended process than that observed in peripheral arteries.
