[Intracoronary thrombus in patients with unstable angina pectoris].
Intracoronary thrombi were found in 20 of 52 patients (38%) who had coronary angiography because of treatment-resistant unstable angina. Unrelated to the angiographic finding, eight patients (15%) sustained a myocardial infarction, and two died during their hospital stay. Only one patient (5%) with and six patients (19%) without intracoronary thrombi were stabilized and discharged from hospital. The remaining patients either had an aortocoronary bypass (n = 31) or transluminal balloon angioplasty (n = 13). These findings underline the importance of intracoronary thrombus formation in the pathogenesis of treatment-resistant unstable angina.
