coronary artery thrombosis

coronary artery thrombosis •Note the occlusion of the distended artery by a dark red thrombus. No lines of Zahn are present.The initial occlusion was probably a fibrinous platelet thrombus where a plaque ruptured or hemorrhaged, and this view is of a stasis thrombus formed proximal to the initial occlusion.
