TIMI grade flow - grading of coronary blood flow during coronary angiography. This TIMI classification was developed by the TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) study group to semiquantitatively assess coronary artery perfusion beyond point of occlusion on coronary angiography.
The TIMI flow grade has become the standard for semiquantitative evaluation of myocardial perfusion before and after coronary reperfusion therapies. 1 2 Determination of TIMI flow grade after coronary reperfusion yields important prognostic information in patients with acute myocardial infarction. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 In early analyses, both TIMI flow ...

For many years, epicardial coronary flow has been simply assessed by the TIMI (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction) flow grade. 1 This semiquantitative coronary angiographic tool places a patient's coronary flow into one of four different categories and has been shown to be associated with mortality.

Dec 13, 2023 · Discover the significance of TIMI Grade Flow in evaluating coronary artery flow and its role in risk stratification, treatment decision-making, and prognosis in acute coronary syndromes. Learn how this classification system aids clinicians in managing patients with coronary artery disease.
Aug 7, 2001 · Patients in the 2 PAMI stent trials, in which these drugs were administered in the emergency department, had higher baseline rates of TIMI grade 3 flow (20.7% versus 11.3% in the PAMI 1 and 2 trials, which did not administer ticlopidine before PCI).

Sep 1, 2015 · TIMI 2 flow involves delayed filling of the distal vessels and is considered present when three or more beats are required to opacify the distal vasculature. This approach is frequently used in diagnosing the no-reflow phenomenon and has also been used to diagnose the CSFP.
