Abstract


Background & Objective:

Recanalized coronary artery includes non obstructive coronary artery disease, luminal irregularities and slow flow  after thrombolytic therapy.

 This study is aimed to analyze the clinical profile of patients who had complete recanalization of coronary artery  found by coronary angiogram.

Material :

A Retrospective Study conducted in the Cardiology department of Government Rajaji hospital madurai.100 patients with  STEMI  who underwent coronary angiogram  were included.

Results: In our study 85% patients were males Smoking was the prevalent risk factor in our  study .90% of the patients presented within 6 hours. coronary angiogram showed  non obstructive lesions  in 62% of the patients , luminal irregularity in 16% of the patients

Conclusion:

Risk factors like advancing age, dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypertension decrease the chances of complete recanalization. The chance of recanalization was more when the patient reached hospital within 4-6 hours .
