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

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

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the best available reperfusion strategy
for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), with nearly 95% of occluded …

The lack of reperfusion of myocardium after prolonged ischaemia that may occur despite
opening of the infarct-related artery is termed “no reflow”. No reflow or slow flow occurs in 3 …

Improvements in systems, technology and pharmacotherapy have significantly changed the
prognosis over recent decades in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial …

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 …

Coronary artery diseases and particularly acute myocardial infarction are the leading causes
of mortality and morbidity in western countries. Despite the achievements of the last decades …

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 …

Coronary revascularization is not synonymous with myocardial reperfusion. DeWood et al. 1
almost three decades ago showed that 90% of patients with transmural myocardial infarction …
