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 …

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 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 …

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 …

In acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), improvement in reperfusion
strategies has contributed to improvement in mortality. Nonetheless up to 40–50% of …

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 …

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the best available reperfusion strategy
for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), with nearly 95% of occluded …

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