Coronary artery thrombus: rapid resolution shown by serial coronary arteriography

Resolution of a coronary artery thrombus within two weeks was demonstrated by serial coronary arteriography in a man with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. This observation indicates that subtotal coronary artery thrombosis does not invariably progress to complete occlusion of the affected vessel and that the resolution of coronary artery thrombus can occur rapidly.
