myocardial reperfusion

Preferred Label : myocardial reperfusion;

MeSH definition : Generally, restoration of blood supply to heart tissue which is ischemic due to decrease in normal blood supply. The decrease may result from any source including atherosclerotic obstruction, narrowing of the artery, or surgical clamping. Reperfusion can be induced to treat ischemia. Methods include chemical dissolution of an occluding thrombus, administration of vasodilator drugs, angioplasty, catheterization, and artery bypass graft surgery. However, it is thought that reperfusion can itself further damage the ischemic tissue, causing MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY.;

MeSH synonym : coronary reperfusion; coronary reperfusions; reperfusions, coronary; reperfusion, myocardial; myocardial reperfusions; reperfusions, myocardial; reperfusion, coronary;

MeSH annotation : note category: a technique; /adv eff permitted but consider also MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY;
