(1) Because of this, we began using retrograde coronary sinus perfusion (RCSP) for delivery of cardioplegia to prevent the embolization of grumous material.
(2) Autopsy demonstrated diffuse and extensive distal coronary arterial embolization of grumous material, including cholesterol crystals, platelets, and fibrin.
(3) The subvalvular (mitral) calcified intramyocardial mass was found to be "grumous atherosclerosis."
(4) Soft plaques with predominant atheromatous grumous material and hemorrhage were associated more often with tightly stenotic, ulcerated, and symptomatic lesions.
