| description | Currently, one of the key methods of treating a patient with ST-elevation myocardial infarction is to restore blood flow to the infarct-related artery as quickly, completely and steadily as possible. However, in some cases, it is not possible to achieve adequate myocardial reperfusion, despite the restoration of coronary blood flow. This phenomenon was named no-reflow. Due to the lack of a unified approach to the diagnosis of no-reflow, its occurrence varies widely – from 2 to 44 %. Failure to achieve adequate myocardial perfusion leads to a higher mortality rate – from 7.4 to 30.3 %, as well as to more aggressive remodeling of the myocardium. For a long time, distal embolization in percutaneous coronary intervention was considered one of the leading mechanisms. However, the routine use of protective devices did not show a pronounced effect on the outcome and prognosis, although it is justified in certain clinical situations. Ischemic injury directly plays a significant role due to overload of cardiomyocytes with calcium, cellular edema, necrosis and apoptosis, which is significantly aggravated by myocardial reperfusion and forms obstruction at the level of the microcirculatory bed. More data is being accumulated about immune-mediated injury through activation of cellular immunity, intense inflammation and thrombosis in situ. Despite the success in the animal experiment, the clinical use of certain groups of drugs showed an ambiguous results. According to the latest recommendations European Society of Cardiology / European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (ESC / EACTS) 2018, GPIIb / IIIa platelet receptor inhibitors are recommended in the case of no-reflow. Besides this, according to the literature nicorandil and sodium nitroprusside, as well as IL-1β antagonists, seem to be promising. As a non-drug therapy, selective intracoronary hypothermia also has shown its effectiveness and safety in a pilot study. To date, it is clear that the no-reflow phenomenon is a manifestation of a complex cascade of reactions, including ischemic, reperfusion and immune-related injury, as well as distal embolization. Considering its significant contribution to the frequency of adverse outcomes and late complications, it seems necessary to introduce unified approaches to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of no-reflow, which requires high-quality clinical studies. |
