The post-ischemic no-reflow phenomenon after primary percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI) is observed in more than half of subjects and is defined as the absence or marked …

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 …

Introduction of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as a method of choice for the
treatment of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction has brought a marked …

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

Objective: To identify in humans the temporal patterns of no reflow and their functional
implications. Methods: 24 patients with first acute myocardial infarction and successful …

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 …

The phenomenon of «no-reflow» refers to a state of myocardial tissue hypoperfusion or
absence of perfusion after eliminating the cause of the occlusion of the coronary artery. Two …

The no-reflow phenomenon after successful coronary artery perfusion is caused by a
myocardial perfusion defect due to impaired blood flow in the microvascular bed. This …

In the setting of acute myocardial infarction, early and adequate reopening of an infarct-
related artery is not necessarily followed by a complete restoration of myocardial perfusion …

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 …
