Abstract: Aim To investig ate the role of intracoronary adenosine for the prevention of no reflow.Methods The procedural outcomes of 79 patient s who undertook percutaneous intervention in the setting of acute myocardial infarction was studied.Twenty-eight patients did not received int racoronary adenosine, and fiftyone received intracoronary adenosine bolluses (24-48 μg before and after each balloon inf lation).Results Eight patients who were not given adenosine experienced no reflow (28.6%) and high in-Hospital death rate, three of fif ty-one patients (5.9%) in the adenosine group experienced no reflow.No untoward complications were noted during adenosine infusion. Conclusion Int racoronary adenosine bolus administration during percutaneous intervention in the patients with acute my ocardial infarction is easy and safe and may significant lylessen the incidence of no reflow and may improve the outcome of this procedure.
