Abstract

In several reports, the "black hole" (BH) phenomenon was reported as a homogeneous echolucent appearance by intravascular ultrasound. We discuss an experience with angioscopic and pathological assessment for the BH phenomenon.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
