In the setting of acute myocardial infarction, early and adequate reopening of an infarct-
related artery is not necessarily followed by a complete restoration of myocardial perfusion …

290Reperfusion of ischemic myocardium may be followed by incomplete restoration of
blood flow, a phenomenon known as “no-reflow”. Although “no-reflow” has been viewed as …

OBJECTIVES We sought to elucidate the clinical factors related to the development of no-
reflow phenomenon after successful coronary reperfusion in patients with an acute …

In a variant proportion of patients presenting with chest pain and electrocardiographic
changes characteristic for ST–elevation myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary …

The primary goal in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the
restoration of myocardial tissue-level perfusion. In a variable proportion of patients with …

There is now ample evidence that the no-reflow phenomenon occurs in humans. Of course,
the human heart differs in some aspects compared to the animal heart. In experimental …

If 'no reflow'is observed within 45 min of reperfusion using balloon angioplasty or stent, it is
probably related to microthromboemboli, which may also contribute to the extension of the …

In experimental models of temporary coronary artery occlusion, tissue perfusion at the
microvascular level remains incomplete even after patency of the infarct-related epicardial …

Timely delivered coronary revascularization with no residual anatomical stenosis does not
always lead to prompt restoration of anterograde coronary flow and complete myocardial …

Optional statement No-reflow occurs in up to one third of patients with acute myocardial
infarction during acute percutaneous intervention, and occasionally during elective …
