No-Reflow
Pre-intervention
Shown below is a pre-intervention angiogram with occlusion in the proximal part of SVG (saphenous vein graft) to the RCA.
Intervention
Shown below is an angiogram with ongoing intervention on the occlusion described above.
Post-intervention
Shown below is a post-intervention angiogram with acute reduction in blood flow (TIMI flow grade 1) in the absence of dissection, thrombus, spasm, or high-grade residual stenosis in the SVG (saphenous vein graft) depicting no-reflow.
Shown below is a post-intervention angiogram with a complete restoration of blood flow (TIMI flow grade 3) after transient no-reflow as depicted above.
