Overview
This phenomenon was first described by Krug et al [1] during induced myocardial infarction in dog subjects in 1966, but the term 'no-reflow' was first used by Majno and colleagues in 1967 when they observed that brains of rabbits exposed to prolonged ischemia suffered significant changes in the microvasculature which impeded blood flow to the brain cells.
