Abstract
The presence of intracoronary thrombus is associated with increased co mplications during coronary angioplasty. Such thrombus may also mimic the appearance of a critical stenosis. We report a case of nearly occl usive intracoronary thrombus which resolved after prolonged heparin th erapy, revealing only a minimal underlying stenosis. The recognition a nd treatment of this entity is discussed. (C) 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
