Mechanism of Thrombus in Atherosclerosis ¡@ |
|
|
Endothelial erosion - the thrombus is superficial, i.e., on the surface of the plaque |
|
| ¡@ |
¡@ |
| ¡@ |
Disruption - there is a component deep in the plaque and a component in the lumen. |
¡@
|
The Different Components of Thrombus after Disruption ¡@ The thrombus within the plaque has a large component of platelets, as thrombus begins to project into the lumen the fibrin component becomes more dominant, while the occluding thrombus is made up of a network of fibrin in which there are numerous trapped red cells. Over the surface of the mural thrombus there is also a layer of platelets. |
