It's not an infarct either. It's an extrinsic stenosis which, as depicted, wouldn't be enough to cause thrombosis and even if it was tight enough - the thrombus would form downstream of the restriction until occlusion of the artery, rather than forming like a dam.
An infarct would be the damage to the tissue caused by ischaemia, as a result of loss of arterial supply.
What OP needs is an image of atherosclerosis, preferably in a coronary artery.

that's an infarct; not an aneurysm.

I'm like 40% certain half of those are real words.
I'm 60% certain my profession isn't real, so we're probably both right.
Well, they're not going to call it 'oh no biggie clotty make bloody stoppy'.
You ain't seen GP referrals.

You're god damn right.
Veganism can help you not clog up your arteries (as bad). Even reducing your meat intake is helpful
watch me clog up my arteries with peanuts
How about a gigantic amount of baked beans
Injecting peanuts into your veins to own the libs
If God didn't intend for us to die at the ripe old age of 40 because of poor diets, he wouldn't have given us cows and trans fats 😤
Sure showed them!
