Posterior Interventricular Artery Thrombosis, or PIVAT, is a medical condition where a blood clot forms in the posterior interventricular artery, disrupting blood flow to the heart muscle. This condition can lead to serious complications if not promptly addressed. In this article, we’ll break down PIVAT into easily understandable terms, covering its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.
