Intracoronary thrombus.
We present the case of a 62 year old patient admitted with acute chest pain. Coronary CT angiography demonstrated presence of a high grade lesion with pronounced remodeling and the impression of an intracoronary thrombus in the proximal left circumflex coronary artery. Invasive angiography confirmed the presence of a thrombus; thrombus fragments were removed using an extraction device.
