FIGURE 22.5 Suspicion of an acute mural thrombus in a patient with acute coronary syndrome and absence of obstructive coronary artery
disease on coronary angiography. A patient with acute coronary syndrome (non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) with ST-segment changes in the anterior leads underwent coronary angiography. On coronary angiograms, there were no obstructive lesions. Given the clinical presentation, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) assessment of the left anterior descending coronary artery was performed. The arrow on the left angiogram corresponds to the cross-sectional view on the right IVUS image. A mural thrombus was suspected at six oclock (t) and, based on the bright appearance, felt to reect the acute phase of thrombosis (platelet aggregation). The arrows on the cross-sectional IVUS image (right) delineate the luminal site of the vessel wall.
FIGURE 22.6 Intracoronary thrombus visualized a few days after acute clinical presentation. A patient with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial
infarction underwent coronary angiogram a few days following the initial clinical presentation. The coronary angiogram (top) revealed a picture indicative of a non-ow-limiting thrombus in the proximal left anterior descending artery (arrow). Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was performed for further investigation of the underlying pathology (bottom). In comparison with the patient presented in Fig. 22.5, this IVUS shows a darker, more echo-lucent and homogeneously structured acute thrombus (t). The boundary with the underlying brous plaque is indicated by the arrows (right).

FIGURE 22.7 Intracoronary thrombus detected by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) a few days after the acute clinical presentation, previously
invisible to angiography. Arrows in the crossectional view (middle right) indicate the transition of thrombus with soft plaque. Arrow in the bottom view indicate the thrombus in the distal coronary left main stem proximal from the bifurcation with the left cirxumex artery (cx). A patient with acute coronary syndrome underwent coronary angiogram and IVUS assessment of the left main coronary artery. Coronary angiography (top) did not show any evidence of a thrombotic event, yet IVUS was suggestive of the presence of a thrombus (t) above a soft plaque (arrows right cross-sectional view, middle, right). On the longitudinal reconstruction (bottom), the delineation of the thrombus inside the lumen can be appreciated.
implantation. Color Doppler, biplane imaging, and pulsed-wave Doppler echocardiography often provide important complementary data in addition to 2D echocardiography.
Transthoracic echocardiography is the rst-line imaging modality in detecting left-ventricular apex thrombus. Contrast echocardiography is especially useful in this scenario as the transthoracic apical window is not always optimal. Color Doppler echocardiography could also be helpful in conrming these ndings.
Figs. 22.15e22.22 represent a seri es of typical intracardiac thrombus cases as visualized with echocardiography and
catheter-based thrombectomy under the guidance of transesophageal echocardiography.

FIGURE 22.8 Adequate stent implantation on angiography but an unexpected nding on intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). A patient with acute
coronary syndrome underwent intracoronary stent implantation of the distal right coronary artery (arrow, left). IVUS revealed correct apposition of the stent struts (middle). Yet, closer examination indicated that the stent struts were opposed to thrombotic material overlaying a soft plaque (transition thrombus; plaque indicated by arrowheads). Further stent dilatation was performed to avoid malposition after thrombus (t) resorption.
FIGURE 22.9 Protruding thrombus between stent struts. An ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patient underwent stent implantation in a
distal lesion of a degenerated saphenous vein graft. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) (bottom) reveals correct stent apposition to the vessel walls. Nevertheless, there is evidence of underlying thrombus, as the cross-sectional IVUS images reveal echogenic spots between the stent struts suggestive of thrombus protruding between the stent struts (arrows, right).

FIGURE 22.11 Assessment of thrombus at follow-up. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) assessment 18 months after stent implantation and accom-
panying thrombectomy in the context of acute coronary syndrome. On IVUS, malposition of the stent between one and seven oclock with organized thrombus is demonstrated, as depicted by the black mass behind the stent (arrows).
FIGURE 22.12 An organized thrombus. Intravascular ultrasound cross section with subacute and organized thrombus. The cross section on the right
shows the organized thrombus border as indicated by arrows. Note that the organized thrombus is attached to the vessel wall as well as the transition between plaque and thrombus.

white thrombus with corresponding OCT cross-sectional image and light attenuation curve. White thrombus has a rich signal with moderate attenuation, which allows easier visualization of the underlying anatomical structures [6].

Histologic examination revealed platelets, brin, and some erythrocytes (Fig. 22.1, top). (B) From a patient with acute coronary syndrome in whom OCT revealed a red thrombus with strong signal attenuation. (C) White thrombus after thrombectomy in a patient with acute coronary syndrome caused by in-stent thrombosis. The difference in the appearance of the thrombus as depicted by OCT in (B) and (C) consists of a later phase of thrombus formation, while the one shown in (A) consists of a more acute phase of thrombus formation. This phenomenon is caused by the lines of Zahn as a result of the brin/ red blood cell ratio present in the lines of Zahn.

THROMBOSIS FOLLOWING CATHETER-BASED STRUCTURAL HEART INTERVENTIONS (FIGS. 22.23e22.25)
Thrombosis Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
A 62-year-old patient with bicuspid aortic stenosis received a 29-mm CoreValve Evolut R bioprosthesis. Because of low implant positioning associated with severe paravalvular regurgitation a second Evolut R valve was implanted, which corrected the regurgitation. The patient was discharged with dual antiplatelet therapy (acetylsalicylic acid 80 mg, clopi­dogrel 75 mg) after a short and uneventful postoperative course. As part of a clinical research project in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis, multislice computed tomography was perfor med 30 days after the index transcatheter aortic valve replacement. A radiolucent area was seen during diastole and systole at the level whereby the inow of the second implanted valve touched the rst implanted valve (Fig. 22.26, left green frame on cross-sectional images, Fig. 22.26, right longitudinal section).

FIGURE 22.23 Intrathoracic bleeding due to failed application of a plug-based vascular closure technique after the implantation of a CoreValve Evolut
R valve via the left axillary artery. Access to the axillary artery was achieved via echo-guided puncture. After successful valve implantation, the vascular plug was applied using standard technique but failed to achieve hemostasis. The activated clotting time was immediately corrected (with intravenous protamine 50 mg), while an occlusive balloon was advanced via the right femoral artery into the left subclavian artery and inated for 2 5 min. Because of incomplete hemostasis, an 8 38-mm covered stent was implanted, leading to complete hemostasis.
FIGURE 22.24 Thrombosis distal to the access site was suspected, as the anesthesiologist reported a sudden loss of oxymetry reading (the pulsed
oxymeter was connected to the left little nger) that was conrmed by selective contrast angiography, which demonstrated fresh thrombus in the left ulnar artery distal to the elbow (upper left). A percutaneous coronary intervention guidewire was advanced into the ulnar artery after which thrombus aspiration was performed (utilizing an Export catheter) combined with the reinstitution of heparin therapy (upper right and lower left and right). A large fresh red thrombus was successfully retrieved leading to reconstitution of antegrade ow and uneventful postoperative course (Fig. 22.25).
