Distribution and determinants of myocardial perfusion grade following late mechanical recanalization of occluded infarct‐related arteries postmyocardial infarction: A report from the occluded artery trial

Abstract: Objective-To evaluate the distribution and determinants of myocardial perfusion grade (MPG) following late recanalization of persistently occluded infarct-related arteries (IRA).Background-MPG reflects microvascular integrity. It is an independent prognostic factor following myocardial infarction, but has been studied mainly in the setting of early reperfusion. The occluded artery trial (OAT) enrolled stable patients with persistently occluded IRAs beyond 24 hr and up to 28 days post-MI.

“…We found fewer collaterals, significantly more LAD occlusions and a greater likelihood of unsuccessful fibrinolytic therapy in the MPG 0/1 group. These findings are similar to those reported for the larger cohort of 261 OAT ancillary study patients in whom baseline MPG was measured 16 and in correspondence with data published by Kandzari et al 25 from a study of primary percutaneous revascularization in acute myocardial infarction, showing that anterior infarction is associated with greater impairment of LVEF, less frequent collateral flow and diminished reperfusion success as measured by MPG.…”

“…Collateral flow may prolong the maximal time of coronary occlusion before reperfusion when irreversible transmural myocardial necrosis develops, and reduce infarct size [19]. Well-developed collaterals (C2) before reperfusion by PCI in patients with STEMI are associated with a protective effect on coronary microcirculation and decreasing no-reflow [20,21].…”

“…This could lead to poorer collateral blood flow, associated with impaired microvascular blood flow in the risk area. 27,28 Thus, the evaluation of microvascular damage on LGE images may allow the selection of specific patients with severely impaired myocardial perfusion.…”
