Key result
Elevated D-dimer levels are associated with an increased risk of the no-reflow phenomenon following percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
Do D-dimer levels impact the no-reflow phenomenon following percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction?

This meta-analysis investigates the association between D-dimer levels and the no-reflow phenomenon in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
May aid risk stratification in STEMI PCI; extends meta-analytic support for D-dimer but needs prospective validation.
To the Editor,Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has changed the paradigm of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treatment in the last decade. The no-reflow pheno...
