An image of coronary thrombus mimicking dissection detected by intravascular ultrasound during functional evaluation of an intermediate lesion

J Invasive Cardiol. 2004 Sep;16(9):506-7.

Abstract

We report a case of a patient in whom coronary arterial thrombus was detected by intravascular ultrasound performed because of an angiographically false image of dissection associated with thrombus obtained during functional evaluation for an intermediate lesion and managed with anticoagulation alone.
