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 …

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

The no-reflow phenomenon occurs in about one third of the patients treated with primary PCI
for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Our understanding of its …

If 'no reflow'is observed within 45 min of reperfusion using balloon angioplasty or stent, it is
probably related to microthromboemboli, which may also contribute to the extension of the …

Successful reperfusion of an infarct-related coronary artery by primary percutaneous
intervention or fibrinolysis during acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) does not …

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

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 is responsible for 40% of the primary percutaneous coronary intervention without
complete myocardial reperfusion despite successful reopening of the infarct-related artery …

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 …
