Mario D. Caldararo: Are Lines of Zahn Pathognomonic for Antemortem Thrombosis?

Mario D. Caldararo, Intensivist at Saint Peter’s Healthcare System, shared a post on X:

“Are Lines of Zahn pathognomonic for antemortem thrombosis?

Yes – when defined as laminated platelet-fibrin bands formed in flowing blood.

Other fibrin patterns may occur after death, but they are not true Lines of Zahn; no postmortem process reproduces the genuine pattern.”
