Research progress of thrombus compositions and imaging manifestations in patients with acute ischemic stroke

Abstract

With the rapid development of intravascular interventional treatment, the study of thrombus in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has been intensified in recent vears. The composition of thrombus mainly includes red blood cells, fibrin/platelets, white blood cells, and von Willebrand factor (vWF) and other rare components, which can be manifested as arterial hyperdensity sign (HAS) and susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) on non-contrast CT(NCCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Further analysis of thrombus components and imaging manifestations will help to understand the etiology, treatment selection and clinical prognosis of AIS.
