Previously defined as a shotcoming to achieve uniform intramyocardial reperfusion after
prolonged but reversible coronary occlusion, only recently has no-reflow phenomenon been …

The lack of reperfusion of myocardium after prolonged ischaemia that may occur despite
opening of the infarct-related artery is termed “no reflow”. No reflow or slow flow occurs in 3 …

The no-reflow phenomenon relates to the inability to reperfuse regions of the myocardium
after ischemia, despite removal of the large epicardial coronary artery occlusion. The …

The phenomenon of no-reflow is defined as inadequate myocardial perfusion through a
given segment of the coronary circulation without angiographic evidence of mechanical …

The rapid restoration of coronary flow to the jeopardized myocardium has become an
essential part of therapy after acute myocardial infarction. Despite an open infarct-related …

In a variable proportion of patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial
infarction, ranging from 5% to 50%, primary percutaneous coronary intervention achieves …

Introduction of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as a method of choice for the
treatment of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction has brought a marked …

The no-reflow phenomenon has been studied extensively in the basic science laboratory
and has entered the clinical arena. No-reflow, which develops largely within the first 2h of …

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the preferred reperfusion strategy for
treating acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The main goals are to …

The no-reflow phenomenon is a failure to reperfuse portions of previously ischemic tissue
when patency of the large arteries perfusing an organ has been reestablished. This …
