[Late coronary reperfusion. A possible etiology of post-infarction angina].
Late recanalisation of the infarct Related Artery is possible and may cause post-infarction angina. This was observed in 7 male patients who had complete occlusions of an artery with collateral circulation in the immediate post-infarction period. After a symptom-free period of 17 months, angina recurred and repeat angiography showed recanalisation of the occluded artery with regression of the collateral circulation resulting in myocardial ischemia. Myocardial revascularisation was then required.
