Table 1:
TIMI/TICI flow grades before and after stent placement
| Stent Type and TIMI/TICI Flow (Grade) | Preprocedure (No. vessels, %) | Postprocedure (No. vessels, %) |
|---|---|---|
| Balloon-mounted (9 vessels) | ||
| 3 (complete) | 0 | 7 (78) |
| 2 | 0 | 1 (11) |
| 1 | 2 (22) | 0 |
| 0 | 7 (78) | 1 (11) |
| Self-expanding (11 vessels) | ||
| 3 (complete) | 0 | 10 (91) |
| 2 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 (9) | 1 (9) |
| 0 | 10 (91) | 0 |
Note:—TIMI indicates Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction; TICI, Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction. Because of the low number of animals in this study, TICI flows of 2a and 2b were reported together as grade 2.
