The no-reflow phenomenon (NRP) after successful vascular recanalization in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has become a major cause of poor clinical prognosis and ineffective recanalization. However, there is currently no clear definition or unified clinical assessment method for the NRP. Therefore, it is urgent to clarify the clinical evaluation criteria for the NRP and develop new no-reflow evaluation techniques so that remedial treatment can be applied to AIS patients suffering from the NRP. In this brief review, a variety of NRP assessment methods and defining criteria for clinical practice are presented.

Background: Spontaneous reperfusion (SR) occurring before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) can offer additional clinical benefits to patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The Platelet-to-White Blood Cell Ratio (PWR) has been recognized as a prognostic indicator in various diseases. We aimed to explore the relationship between PWR and SR in patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI.

Is Reperfusion Injury a Largely Intra-Ischemic Injury?

Stroke

Reperfusion injury (RI) refers to an array of detrimental cellular and biochemical processes that are widely believed to be triggered by reperfusion following focal cerebral ischemia and to contribute to infarct extension and poor outcome despite complete recanalization. Accordingly, it is widely recommended that therapies targeting RI be administered after recanalization. The present topical review demonstrates, however, that the vast majority of, and possibly all, processes considered part of RI are not actually provoked by reperfusion but develop during the ischemic phase.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) constitutes a major health problem with high mortality rates worldwide. In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), no-reflow phenomenon is a condition that adversely affects response to therapy. Previous studies have demonstrated that the CALLY index, calculated using C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, and lymphocytes, is a reliable indicator of mortality in patients with non-cardiac diseases.

We compared chorioretinal microvascular of Slow Coronary Flow Phenomenon (SCFP) patients using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) to healthy controls. We recruited 21 patients from September 2023 until January 2024 from two referral centers. We enrolled 21 age-sex-matched controls retrospectively.

Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) often experience the no-reflow phenomenon (NRP), characterized by reduced myocardial perfusion despite an open coronary artery. Adenosine, a potent vasodilator, is used to aid reperfusion. To elucidate underlying molecular mechanism of this phenomenon, we investigated expression of ADORA2A and ADORA2B genes, encoding adenosine receptors, in ACS patients with NRP and non-NRP.
