Development of ‘No-Reflow’ Phenomenon in Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury: Failure of Active Vasomotility and Not Simply Passive Vasoconstriction

Abstract

Affections of active vasomotility and not merely passive changes of external pressure (i.e., interstitial edema formation) should be considered important in the development of microvascular constriction during 'no-reflow' phenomenon.
