Research Progress on the Composition of Cerebral Arterial Thrombus in Acute Ischemic Stroke

Acute cerebral infarction, with a high incidence, disability, and recurrence rate, has brought a huge social burden to China and other countries. Understanding the pathological characteristics of cerebral thrombus can help in the selection of individualized treatment plans, thereby improving the good prognosis rate and reducing the recurrence rate of cerebral infarction patients. This article reviews the composition and imaging characteristics of cerebral thrombus, the relationship between cerebral thrombus composition and cerebral vascular recanalization therapy, the correlation between cerebral thrombus composition and the etiology of cerebral infarction, and the dynamic evolution of cerebral thrombus, to provide a more theoretical basis for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.
