Over the past 20 years, advances in the management of ST segment elevation myocardial
infarction have focused on the rapid achievement of patency in the infarct-related artery. The …

Background: No‐reflow (NR) phenomenon is a well‐known problem, often accompanying
percutaneous coronary intervention for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) …

The no-reflow phenomenon is observed as reduction of coronary blood flow on the
angiograms (angiographic no-reflow) after immediate percutaneous transluminal coronary …

Background Primary angioplasty (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction is associated with no-
reflow phenomenon, in about 5–25% of cases. Here we analysed the factors predicting no …

No-reflow is responsible for 40% of the primary percutaneous coronary intervention without
complete myocardial reperfusion despite successful reopening of the infarct-related artery …

Aim Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a consolidated therapeutic strategy for the
treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but achieving a TIMI 3 flow does not always …

No reflow occurs when there is inadequate myocardial perfusion of a given segment of the
coronary circulation without evidence of epicardial vessel obstruction. It is a rare but …

No-reflow phenomenon occurs frequently during primary percutaneous coronary
intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and it has a strong negative …

To achieve early and complete reperfusion of the myocardium in acute coronary syndromes
is the daily challenge for every physician in clinical cardiology. However, restoration of …

Objective We evaluated the incidence and predictive factors of impaired microcirculation,
defined as myocardial blush grade (MBG) 0, in patients undergoing primary angioplasty for …
