During reperfusion of a myocardial infarct, development of microvascular occlusion may
result in regional hypoperfusion (“no reflow”) despite a patent infarct-related artery. This …

The “no reflow phenomenon” is a well recognized consequence of reperfusion after
ischemia. l The term refers to the inability to reperfuse myocardial tissue despite removal of …

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 …

A study was performed in 33 dogs to ascertain (1) whether the “no reflow” phenomenon is a
critical factor determining the time beyond which revascularization can no longer salvage …

Both animal models of experimental myocardial infarction and clinical studies on reperfusion
therapy for acute myocardial infarction have provided evidence of impaired tissue perfusion …

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

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 …

We tested the hypothesis that when acute coronary occlusion is caused by thrombus, part of
the no-reflow phenomenon may result from spontaneous or coronary angioplasty-induced …

The no reflow phenomenon. This term refers to the inability to reperfuse myocardial tissue
after removal of a coronary artery occlusion (1). This phenomenon occurs not only in cardiac …

To try to unravel the complexity and heterogeneity of the" no-reflow" phenomenon and its
underlying mechanisms, we studied tissue perfusion in reperfused heart muscle by using …
