Is aderverkalking hetzelfde als slagaderverkalking?
Slagaderverkalking (atherosclerose) is een proces waarbij de wand van uw slagaderen door verkalking dikker wordt. Deze verdikking kan leiden tot vernauwing van het bloedvat en problemen geven met de doorbloeding van organen en weefsels.
What is the difference between a thrombus and a plaque?
Both are radiolucent . But a thrombus or a plaque coated with dye will make it radio opaque. The radio opacity of a thrombus is determined by extent of dye coating , the thickness of the dye layer, obliqueness to the x-ray beam . A thrombus plaque interface can have two different planes of densities.
What is thrombus coated dissected plaque during primary PCI?
During primary PCI thrombus coated dissected plaque is just tucked and opposed behind the gentle stent struts.The thin layers of thrombus between stent struts and the vessel wall is missed , 100 out of 100 times by coronary angiogram .
Can You dye a thrombus plaque?
A thrombus plaque interface can have two different planes of densities. Theoretically dye can not encircle a plaque in its entire circumference as it will be attached to vessel wall (Unless circumferential dissection is present ) Hence , dye can not coat a plaque fully ,…
What is aural thrombus?
It has also been described as a complication of aortic plaque, specifically in smokers. Mural thrombus within an aneurysm is different. Stagnant blood flow in the dilated portion of the artery deposits the clot. In fact, it is less common to find an aortic aneurysm without any thrombus in it.
Bij slagaderverkalking (of aderverkalking) ontstaan beschadigingen in de vaatwand en er hopen zich vetten en ontstekingscellen in de vaatwand op. Er ontstaan vernauwingen, de zogenaamde plaques. Het is gevaarlijk als zo’n plaque ineens openscheurt. Er vormen zich dan stolsels die een bloedvat kunnen afsluiten.
