Slow-flow phenomenon after elective percutaneous coronary intervention of computed tomography-detected vulnerable coronary lesion
No-reflow or slow-flow phenomenon is one of the serious complications of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in acute myocardial infarction, as well as during elective procedures, and is an independent predictor of myocardial infarction, and in-hospital and long-term mortality. We present a case of an elective PCI of native coronary artery lesion that was assessed to be vulnerable based o...
متن کاملPrimary percutaneous coronary intervention: devices to prevent no-reflow phenomenon
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention, where available, has become the therapy of choice in myocardial reperfusion during ST-elevation myocardial infarction. However, in a significant proportion of patients, owing to a high thrombus burden, myocardial perfusion is not fully achieved in the epicardial vessel. This phenomenon has been attributed predominantly to the distal embolization of th...
متن کاملNicorandil effect on myocardial perfusion in patients with slow coronary flow phenomenon assessment by gated myocardial perfusion SPECT
Introduction:Patients with the coronary slow flow phenomenon (SCF) frequently experience angina episodes. The purpose of this study was to determine efficacy of nicorandil in myocardial perfusion in patients with SCF. Methods: Twenty patients (50.85 ± 12.96 y) with SCF were studied. We evaluate coronary slow flow according to protracted thrombolysis in m...
متن کاملCardioprotective effects of single oral dose of nicorandil before selective percutaneous coronary intervention
OBJECTIVE Nicorandil, an opener of ATP-sensitive K+ channels, was used to treat angina in patients with coronary artery disease. In this study, we aim to investigate the cardioprotective effects of single oral dose of nicorandil in patients undergoing selective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS One hundred and thirty-eight patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing PCI f...
متن کاملCoronary slow flow phenomenon: an angiographic curiosity.
Cardiologists are familiar with the phenomenon of slow progression of angiographic contrast in the coronary arteries in the absence of stenosis in the epicardial vessels in some patients presenting with chest pain. The coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP), first described in 1972, remains scantily studied. This phenomenon should be distinguished from occurrence of slow flow in the context of co...
