From: Microemboli and Microvascular Obstruction in Acute Coronary Thrombosis and Sudden Coronary Death: Relation to Epicardial Plaque Histopathology
J Am Coll Cardiol. 2009;54(23):2167-2173. doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2009.07.042
Coronary Artery Occlusion From Eroded Plaque
Epicardial coronary arteries with occlusive macroscopic thrombus (A to C) due to plaque erosion. Longitudinal sections (A, B, and C) and transaxial sections from a different vessel (D, E, and F) show the deep lipid core is not exposed. Immunostains of the thrombus for platelet (CD61, B and E) and fibrin (C and F) components reveal that the typical thrombus frequently is a mixed platelet-fibrin mixture. Images are from patients not included in the study, but illustrate typical coronary thrombus in sudden death due to plaque erosion. CD61 immunostain shows platelets within the thrombus are diffusely scattered throughout (slender arrow in B); junction between thrombus and the arterial plaque (thick arrow in B). The ‘cap’ of this thrombus is very fibrin-rich (arrow in C).
