| Variable | No-reflow (n = 63 ) | Normal flow (n = 347) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multivessel CAD | 35 (55.6%) | 157 (45.2%) | 0.13 |
| Proximal vessel lesion | 53 (84.1%) | 250 (72%) | 0.05 |
| Presence of > grade 3 thrombus | 26 (41.3%) | 93 (26.8%) | 0.02 |
| Predilatation | 21 (33.3%) | 91 (26.2%) | 0.24 |
| Initial TIMI flow 0 or 1 | 33 (52.4%) | 162 (46.7%) | 0.41 |
| Stent diameter, mm (mean ± SD) | 2.99 ± 0.301 | 2.99 ± 0.289 | 0.64 |
| Stent length, mm (mean ± SD) | 27.48 ± 9.3 | 28.8 ± 8.9 | 0.29 |

CAD indicates coronary artery disease; TIMI, Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction score.
