Jun 12, 2024 · Aortic intramural hematoma is a contained hemorrhage into the aortic wall without an intimal tear. It is an atypical form of aortic dissection that can be life-threatening and requires imaging diagnosis and treatment.
Mural thrombus is formation of thrombus in an artery, most commonly the aorta. Mural thrombi can arise in normal arteries, in the context of hypercoagulability, or within aneurysms. The same term is used to also describe clots in the heart, such as post myocardial infarction in an aneurysmal dilatation.
Sep 15, 2022 · Pathophysiology. A commonly accepted paradigm (based on Virchow’s triad of thrombogenesis) posits the pathogenesis of LV thrombus as occurring as a result of the interplay of 3 factors: (1) stasis attributable to reduced ventricular function, (2) endocardial injury, and (3) inflammation/hypercoagulability (Figure 1).
Dec 21, 2023 · Mural thrombi are blood clots that form within the heart or blood vessels, often associated with conditions that disrupt normal blood flow or promote clotting. This comprehensive guide has provided an overview of the causes, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment options for mural thrombi.
Nov 2, 2022 · In intramural hematoma, blood leaks into the aortic media at low pressure, forming a thrombus that pushes the outer wall of the aorta outward, leaving a relatively normal appearing aortic lumen. A penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer allows blood to enter the aortic media, but atherosclerotic scarring of the aorta typically confines the blood ...
Oct 1, 2024 · Intracardiac thrombi are seen in a variety of clinical settings and can result in severe morbidity or even death from embolic events. They can occur following myocardial infarction with ventricular thrombus formation, or with atrial fibrillation and mitral stenosis where atrial thrombi predominate.
