2/ Middle age patient with hx of CAD and PCI to LAD presents with significant SOB and elevated Hs-Trop. No chest pain. No ECG changes. Echo with inferior hypokinesis.
Here’s the diagnostic with a JR4.
Notice the filling defect in the RCA. This is thrombus. How do we know?

3/ Keys of #thrombus on angiogram
🔑 contrast staining
🔑 Lack of calcium on non con image
🔑 ovoid filling defect (complete lumen)

Exactly 7 years ago, I spent #StrokeAwarenessDay undergoing emergency #thrombectomy for #basilar artery occlusion. #BAO
Today, I'm still in awe and celebrating how #modern #medicine saved me from locked-in syndrome and enabled me to live a normal life, against all odds.

2/ So far, I have avoided sharing this information as part of my professional life, fearing it would somehow disqualify me as a credible clinician-scientist. Finally, I realize that the experience only strengthened my resolve to give future patients the second chance I was given.
3/ What happened in brief:
I was a healthy, 25yo medical student, all excited to have finished the first 10K run of my life not even 5 hours before my family reacted #FAST and called 911.

1/ Atypical CLOT- a tweetorial
I recently saw a controversial tweet arguing against tx of chronic clot and restricting tx SOLEY to the CFV/iliac. While I agree (for the most part)- data is limited. At the end of the day we care about the pt, and not every pt is the same! Case➡️

1st #Fun fact: Interventional treatment of AIS dates all the way back to 1950s‼️
Sussman & Fitch reported 3 cases of IA infusion of fibrinolytics
Didn’t work 😫. Probably because they were performed in a non-hyperacute fashion
But this laid the foundation for years of refinement

The treatment of #PE has been plagued by high acute mortality rates. Current risk stratification relies on #thrombolytics which carry a significant bleeding risk. #medthread #FLASH

📊100,000–180,000 PE-related deaths annually in US
📊PE is the most preventable cause of death among hospitalized patients
📊3rd leading cardiovascular cause of death after coronary disease and stroke
⏱ 1 American dies of a blood clot every 6 seconds

This #WorldStrokeDay we’re celebrating our #stroke service – which was the first 24/7 thrombectomy centre in the UK – and some of our fantastic patients who have shared their #stroke experience over the last couple of years!
Inspirational Issy shared her story earlier this year about how she had a #stroke during her after school dance class when she was 9 – a year later she’s back to dancing! Go Issy! @DolbyMissIs @PrincessPickled #WorldStrokeDay

@DolbyMissIs @PrincessPickled Ellie had a stroke after playing rugby but is now back to her usual life! “I remember waking up after being brought out of an induced coma and being able to talk after not being able to before the #thrombectomy. I thought it was a miracle!” #WorldStrokeDay stgeorges.nhs.uk/newsitem/rugby…
