Summary
No-reflow is defined as the lack of myocardial perfusion despite opening of the epicardial coronary vessels in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It has been demonstrated that either impaired flow or the absence of flow is associated with an increased rate of mortality. Among available treatment options, intracoronary adenosine is widely used in clinical practice, moreover, adrenaline is a safe alternative for the cases where use of adenosine is limited due to presence of hypotension or bradycardia. Nonetheless, evidence from retrospective and observational studies suggest that intracoronary adrenaline is well tolerated and may exert encouraging effects in prompt recovery of flow in these patients. However, very limited data are available on efficacy of intracoronary (IC) adrenaline in normotensive patients. Therefore, this study is planned to study the hypothesis that; intracoronary adrenaline is safe and has significantly higher efficacy as compared to adenosine for the treatment of no-reflow in normotensive patients with acute coronary syndrome.
