Recently, percutaneous coronary intervention has been the treatment of choice in most
acute myocardial infarction cases. Although the results of percutaneous coronary …

Background: The no-reflow phenomenon is an uncommon and critical occurrence which
myocardial reperfusion does not restore to its optimal level. Several predisposing factors of …

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is effective in opening the infarct related artery
and restoring thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow 3 (TIMI-flow 3) in large majority of ST …

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

No-reflow is a frequent event during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute
myocardial infarction (AMI), and it may affect cardiac prognosis. We evaluated the …

Background The aim of the study was to identify clinical factors, angiographic findings, and
procedural features that predict no-reflow phenomenon (Thrombolysis In Myocardial …

No-reflow is a complex condition associated with inadequate myocardial perfusion of the
coronary artery in the absence of epicardial obstruction. It can occur in several settings …

Despite angiographically successful opening of an infarct-related vessel within a 6-hour time
frame, some patients do not recover left ventricular regional wall function in the infarct zone …

No reflow after acute myocardial infarction is an important predictor of infarct size and
clinical outcome. However, the exact relationship between no reflow and infarct size remains …

W hen anterograde flow is restored to an oc-cluded coronary artery in patients with acute
myocardial infarction (AMI), it is gen-erally presumed that flow isalso restored to the myo …
