C Methner, Z Cao, A Mishra… - American Journal of …, 2021 - journals.physiology.org
The “no reflow” phenomenon, where the coronary artery is patent after treatment of acute
myocardial infarction (AMI) but tissue perfusion is not restored, is associated with worse …

Continued dysfunction of capillary pericytes promotes no-reflow after experimental stroke in vivo

JJ Shrouder, GM Calandra, S Filser, DP Varga… - Brain, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Incomplete reperfusion of the microvasculature ('no-reflow') after ischaemic stroke damages

No-reflow phenomenon: maintaining vascular integrity

RA Kloner - Journal of cardiovascular pharmacology and …, 2011 - journals.sagepub.com
The no-reflow phenomenon relates to the inability to reperfuse regions of the myocardium

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

No-reflow phenomenon in the heart and brain

RA Kloner, KS King… - American Journal of …, 2018 - journals.physiology.org
The no-reflow phenomenon refers to the observation that when an organ is made ischemic
by occlusion of a large artery supplying it, restoration of patency in that artery does not …
