ECHO showed LAD aneurysmal dilatation at 14 days of illness in Patient 3 (a). At 5.5 years of illness, ECHO showed strong density thromboses in LAD (b). At 6.5 years of illness, ECHO showed mixed density thromboses (the strong echo mixed with the weak echo) in LAD (c) CTCA showed LAD dilatation with contrast agent filling defect (thrombus) (d). After 9 days of thrombolytic/anticoagulant/antiplatelet treatment, the low density portion (the newly formed thrombus) disappeared and patient’s symptoms of chest tightness disappeared (e). After 8 months of thrombolytic/anticoagulant/antiplatelet treatment, the strong density portion (the previously formed thrombus) disappeared, too (f)
