NCIt related terms : TIMI GRADE 2; Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Flow - 2; TIMI 2;
NCIt definition : Partial reperfusion: The contrast material passes across the obstruction and opacifies
the entire coronary bed distal to the obstruction. However, the rate of entry of contrast
into the vessel distal to the obstruction and/or its rate of clearance from the distal
bed are perceptibly slower than its entry into and/or clearance from comparable areas
not perfused by the culprit vessel (e.g., the opposite coronary artery or coronary
bed proximal to the obstruction).(www.TIMI.org accessed 21SEP2011) (ACC);
Alternative definition : CDISC: Partial perfusion. The contrast material passes across the obstruction and
opacifies the coronary bed distal to the obstruction. However, the rate of entry of
contrast material into the vessel distal to the obstruction or its rate of clearance
from the distal bed (or both) is perceptibly slower than its entry into or clearance
from comparable areas not perfused by the previously occluded vessel (e.g., the opposite
coronary artery or the coronary bed proximal to the obstruction). (Chesebro JH, Knatterud
