Popis: 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 main pathogenetic mechanisms may contribute to the development of no-reflow phenomenon after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with myocardial infarction: ischemic-reperfusion injury of the microcirculatory vessels and embolization of the distal arterial bed with fragments of thrombus and atherosclerotic plaque. In this review, we describe the pathophysiological mechanisms of no-reflow, risk factors for no-reflow phenomenon, the principles of diagnosis and therapeutic targets.
