Objective To understand the initiation, maturing, and resolution of thrombus by comparing the length and weight of thrombus at different time in the rat inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis model. Methods Forty-eight female Sprague Dawley rats, weighing 180-230 g, were selected to prepare the IVC stenosis model by blocking the most of the IVC blood flow. The length and weight of IVC thrombus were measured at different time points, the histological features were observed via HE staining. Results Blood clots formed after 2 hours of modeling, the thrombus length and weight showed no significant difference between at 2 hours and 4 hours after modeling (P>0.05). The thrombus length and weight increased significantly at 6 hours, showing significant differences between at 2 and 4 hours and at 6, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours (P<0.05); and from 6 to 48 hours, there was no significant difference in the thrombus length and weight (P>0.05), indicating that thrombus was stable, or maturing. Blood clots began to become smaller after 3 days when compared with ones at 48 hours (P<0.05), indicating the start of resolution at 3 days. At 7 days, the thrombus length and weight became further smaller when compared with ones at 3 days (P<0.05). The thrombus completely subsided at 21 days, the IVC recanalized. HE staining showed that thrombus formed after 2 hours of modeling; from 6 to 48 hours, the lumen became hyperemia, and the inflammatory cells, especially neutrophils, could be found. The organization of thrombus could be observed at 3 days and 7 days; thrombus gradually vanished at 21 days. Conclusion The time of thrombus initiation, maturing stage, and resolution stage is 6 hours, 6 to 48 hours, and 3 to 21 days after modeling, respectively.
