Overview

In PERFUSE Grade 5 thrombus, a recent total occlusion is present. [1]

Characteristics of a Recent Total Occlusion

  • There is often a beak like appearance of the occlusion. Chronic occlusions tend to have a more abrupt or straight appearance.
  • The clot has not propagated backward to the most distal branch.
  • Some collaterals may be present, but usually there are not extensive collaterals.
