Table 1.

Types of organized thrombus assessed by different imaging modalities

Imaging modalities Types Description
Pulmonary angiography Ring-like stenosis lesion (band lesion) Localized lesions with concentric stenosis, as if a ring were put on the vessel
Web lesion Slit, hazy, or abrupt narrowing opacity of the vessel
Subtotal occlusion lesion Tapered and almost completely occluded, but with subtle and slow flow distal to the obstruction
Total occlusion lesion (pouch defect) Concaved obstructions with invisible distal vessel
Tortuous lesion Highly tortuous small vessels distal to subsegmental arteries
Cone beam computed tomography Webs Thrombi frequently observed at the bifurcation of branches appear in diverse forms of fenestrated membranes or thick eccentrically situated branching mass
Web and slits Concurrence of proximal web at a bifurcation of branches and distal intravascular fibrous septa (flap-like thin membrane)
Slits Intravascular fibrous septa alone
Narrowing or complete occlusion Narrowing or complete occlusion
Optical coherence tomography Septum Vessel lumen is separated by a partition into less than 4 components
Multi-hole with thin wall Vessel lumen is separated into more than 5 channels by thin mesh-like flaps
Multi-hole with thick wall Occupied thrombus with more than 5 channels and thick partition walls
Mono-hole Occupied thrombus with a single small channel in the lumen
Angioscopy Mesh thrombus Organized white thrombus
Slit thrombus Filamentous thrombi
Flap thrombus Thrombi that almost completely occupy the vessel lumen and block blood flow
Mass-like thrombus Thrombi that form a solid mass
