Dye-staining angioscopy is capable of visualizing and characterizing fibrin-rich coronary thrombi in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Supports dye-staining angioscopy for in vivo fibrin thrombus characterization in ACS; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Fibrin-rich coronary thrombi were frequently observed by both dye-staining angioscopy and histology in ACS patients. Rarely, fibrin itself formed a globular thrombus and caused coronary occlusion.
