a-d Acute magnetic resonance brain images of the 2 patients with large vessel ischaemic stroke. They show large areas of restricted diffusion in left middle cerebral, and middle cerebral, posterior cerebral artery territories, respectively. Adjoining intracranial magnetic resonance angiograms show loss of normal flow void in the left internal carotid and middle cerebral arteries in the first patient (a, b), and M1 segment of left middle cerebral artery in the second patient (c, d)

a An eccentric thrombus (white arrow) is present in the distal aorta just before its bifurcation. b An abrupt cut off of the left popliteal artery (blue arrow)

Fig. 3
a Coronary angiogram showed complete occlusion of ostial left anterior descending artery (LAD). Left circumflex artery and ramus intermedius branch are normal. b Restoration of flow in the LAD after implantation of drug eluting stent. c Intravascular ultrasound (virtual histology) showed predominantly fibrotic plaque with minimal necrotic core in the ostial LAD
