Comparisons of thrombotic angiographic characteristics between lesions in Group 1 and Not-Group 1.

Characteristics Group 1 (n = 23) (histologically confirmed thrombus) vs. Not-Group 1 (n = 300)
Group 1 N (%) Not-Group 1 N (%) GEE OR (95% CI) P Sensitivity % (95% CI) Specificity % (95% CI)
Complex Ambrose morphology 1 (4.4) 18 (6.0) 1.02 (0.12, 8.74) 1.0 7 (1, 37) 93 (89, 95)
Presence of spherical, ovoid or irregular filling defect 9 (39.1) 2 (0.7) 206 (36.5, 1161) < 0.0001 55 (31, 76) 99 (97,100)
Presence of abrupt vessel cutoff with persistence of contrast 14 (60.9) 24 (8.0) 18.1 (6.64, 49.1) < 0.0001 59 (38, 77) 92 (88, 95)
Presence of intraluminal staining 8 (34.8) 4 (1.3) 44.9 (13.4, 151) < 0.0001 36 (19, 58) 99 (97, 100)
Presence of any coronary filling defect* 11 (47.8) 8 (2.7) 69 (20.4, 234) < 0.0001 60 (37, 79) 97 (95, 99)

GEE OR — generalized estimating equations-estimated odds ratio between groups; CI — confidence interval

Group 1 — individual lesions with histologically confirmed thrombus

*

Any coronary filling defect includes spherical, ovoid, irregular, hazy, occlusive filling defects and obstructive coronary dissections
