No flow is unsolved issue in primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI), and the pathophysiology of no-flow is undetermined. To evaluate the potential participation of coronary thromboembolism in no-flow during primary PTCA, the present study reviewed cinefilms of 256 consecutive patients who underwent primary PTCA for AMI within 24h after the onset of chest pain between January 1992 and June 1998, focusing on the thrombus size. Angiographic no-flow was defined as the cessation of flow into the distal coronary circulation of the treated vessel with a to-and-fro contrast movement, not attributable to high-grade stenosis or spasm of the original target lesion. The coronary thrombus size was determined by using the 2-cm balloon catheter as a reference after crossing the infarct-related occluded artery with a guide wire. Angiographic no-flow was observed in 37 patients (37/256, 14%): 14 of 29 cases (48%) with a large thrombus (≥2cm) versus 23 of 227 cases (9%) with a small thrombus (<2cm, 14/29 vs 23/227, p<0.01). Among 37 patients who experienced angiographiv no-flow, overt destal emboli were observed in 14 patients. A thrombolytic agent was used through a guiding catheter in 102 cases prior to or after balloon dilatation to prevent or attenuate distal embolism, particularly in all those cases with a large thrombus (29/29 100%), and angiographic no-flow was seen in 27 cases of this subgroup (27/102, 26%). It is suggested that distal thromboembolism plays an important role in the mechanism of angiographic no-flow during primary PTCA performed for AMI.
