No-reflow • Severe chest pain • Blood pressure dropped • Heart rate dropped
Blood flow recover • Nitroglycerin ( IC) • Atropine ( IV ) • Dopamine ( IV )
ECG 2 days later • Myocardial injury biomarker:TNI 4.62ng/ml

Incidence Influence Epidemiology • Overall incidence was 2%; • 10%-15% in patients undergoing PCI of SVGs; • 30% in AMI undergoing direct PCI; • The hospital mortality and recurrent MI increased 5-10 times; • Associated with increased malignant arrhythmias,cardiac failure and poor long-term prognosis; • A large area of microvascular injury might impair the healing of the infarct area and could prevent the delivery of pharmacologic agents into that area;

No-reflow (NR) was known as "primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) achieves epicardial coronary artery reperfusion but not myocardial reperfusion"; The term “no-reflow” has been increasingly used in published medical reports to describe microvascular obstruction and reduced myocardial flow after opening an occluded artery; Manifested as stagnant contrast and myocardial ischemia symptoms. Definition
Structural no-reflow - microvessels confined within necrotic myocardium exhibit irreversible damage of the cellular components of their wall. Functional no-reflow - patency of anatomically intact microvessels is compromised because of spasm and/or microembolisation. Classification according to morphological and functional studies
Classification according to the duration of the preceding myocardial ischemia • Reperfusion NR • Ischemia-reperfusion injury • Myocardial edema • Endothelial swelling • Capillary obstruction • Vasospasm • Inflammatory response • Distal coronary embclization Interventional NR • Distal coronary embolization - Microvascular obstruction - Inflammatory response - Secondary Duration of Preceding ischemia seconds-minutes hours Circulation. 2008;117:3152-3156

The course of ACS and reperfusion time Characteristics of coronary artery lesions Pathological vessels and interventions Influencing factors of NR • Acute phase of ACS (<2w) • Reperfusion time<6h • Plaque rupture • Ulcerative lesions • Rich lipid,etc • SVG • Rotational atherectomy
Coronary angiography No-reflow Reflow • The sensitivity of TIMI flow grade is rather low as no-reflow occurs even in patients showing TIMI flow grade 3. • MBG provides a semi-quantitative evaluation of tissue perfusion after injection of contrast media in the epicardial vessel,represents a newer and more sensitive method.
ECG Reflow No-reflow • Electrocardiographic STR is assessed 1 h after PCI,represents the most widely used technique, both in experimental studies and in clinical practice. • Sustained elevation of the ST segment after successful PCI is also associated with unfavorable functional and clinical outcomes. • Almost 30% of patients with TIMI flow grade 3 and MBG 2 or 3 do not exibit STR.
Myocardial contrast echocardiography No-reflow Reflow • MCE uses ultrasound to detect the presence of microbubbles in myocardial microvessels; • Microvascular obstruction is detectable as a perfusion defect during myocardial contrast echocardiography and represents the extent of no-reflow; • AMICI study indicated the extent of no-reflow was the best predictor of adverse left ventricular remodeling after STEMI, being superior to STR and MBG among patients with a TIMI flow grade 3.
Cardiac magnetic resonance Reflow No-reflow • No-reflow can be diagnosed as a lack of gadolinium enhancement during first pass or a lack of gadolinium enhancement within a necrotic region, identified by late gadolinium hyperenhancement; • CMR evaluation of microvascular perfusion has been shown to strictly correlate with MBG; • The detection of hypoenhancement zones on first-pass perfusion CMR,is associated with permanent dysfunction at follow-up

Prevention and treatment of no reflow • Medical therapy • Anti-platelet therapy: Abciximab • Vasodilators: Nitroglycerine, Adenosine, Calcium channel blockers, Nicorandil,Sodium nitroprusside • Intracoronary thrombolytics: Streptokinase • New drugs: Cyclosporine,Statins,Endothelin-1 and Thromboxane-A2 receptor antagonists
Evidence Concerning Medical Prevention and Treatment of No-Reflow
Prevention and treatment of no reflow • Mechanical therapies • Embolic protection devices 1. Distal or proximal protection 2. Thrombectomy devices • PCI techniques : 1. Minimization of balloon inflations 2. Stent deployment without predilation 3. Pre- and postconditioning methods

Effect of Thrombectomy Devices on Surrogate End Points of Myocardial Reperfusion
Both manual and mechanical were associated with better STR, albeit manual thrombectomy demonstrated a clear superiority.Manual thrombectomy device suggest that it is associated with a benefit in terms of death, stroke, and MI compared to standard PCI.Mechanical thrombectomy, on the other hand, does not seem to improve outcome over standard PCI. Therefore, current evidence suggests the routine use of manual thrombectomy in primary PCI Costopoulos C, Gorog DA, Di Mario C, Kukreja N.
