Clinical and angiographic features of carotid circulation thrombus

MS Pessin, BP Abbott, RJ Prager, RA Batson and RM Scott

We studied five patients with intraluminal carotid thrombus visualized by angiography. The distinctive clinical features included the following: thrombus formation without significant atherostenosis; peripheral and cerebral arterial thrombosis; step-wise evolution of cerebral and/or peripheral signs over a period of days to several weeks; clotting tendency despite heparin anticoagulation; and carotid or iliac artery thrombosis after thrombo-endarterectomy. These unusual features serve to identify an uncommon subgroup of stroke patients with large artery thrombosis. Pathogenesis was not established. Coagulopathy with elevated factor VIII levels was the suspected mechanism.
