Association of slow flow with clinical factors in intravascular ultrasound-guided percutaneous coronary intervention for patients with left main trunk-acute myocardial infarction.

CONCLUSIONS: In LMT-AMI, the vessel diameter measured by IVUS was closely associated with slow flow, while the reference diameter measured by angiography was not associated with slow flow. IVUS would be important to find high-risk features for slow flow in LMT-AMI.
