Doppler flow measurements were not significantly different between patients who were treated with or without a stent (data not shown). Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow grade, corrected Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction frame count, and myocardial blush grade in the 2 territories are listed in Table 3. Abnormal angiographic flow parameters (corrected Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction frame count >21 or myocardial blush grade <3) were found in IRAs and non-IRAs.
