Objectives  To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of coronary artery drug injection for slow flow/no-reflow phenomenon after coronary stent implantation.
Methods  We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2009), PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and WanFang databases from their inception to April 2009. Two reviewers independently evaluated the quality of the included studies and extracted the data. Meta-analyses were performed by RevMan 5.0 software.
Results  Eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 593 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that urokinase, adenosine, and anisodamine could significantly improve the thrombolysis in myocardial infartion (TIMI) flow. In addition, anisodamine could improve the coronary blood pressure. Urokinase significantly reduced the incidence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and non-fatal of heart failure during hospitalization, but it could not change the mortality and the incidence of unstable angina, recurrence of myocardial infarction, and ischemic target revascularization.
Conclusion  Evidence shows that anisodamine, urokinase, urapidil and adenosine can improve TIMI flow and improve myocardial perfusion on the no-reflow patients post coronary stent implantation and urokinase can significantly reduce the incidence of main adverse cardiovascular events. Their clinical application is worthy to be advocated.
