Case Study 1

Shown below are an animated image and a static image depicting PERFUSE grade 6 thrombus in the RCA. Encircled in yellow is the thrombus area where you can notice an abrupt blunt cut-off appearance.

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 two animated images of the same case depicting PERFUSE grade 6 thrombus in the RCA. The image on the left shows the same thrombus before PCI and the image on the left shows the patent RCA after PCI.
