title: Relationship between pattern of slow-reflow and tissue level of perfusion after coronary stenting: A single-patient report.
abstract: Ths study reports different mechanisms (i.e., microvascular spasm and discrete microinfarction) that may underlie different pattern of slow-reflow after elective coronary stenting on the basis of the different tissue level of perfusion achieved, assessed by blush grade and MRI.
