Reperfusion injury, sometimes called ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) or reoxygenation injury, is the tissue damage caused when blood supply returns to tissue (re-+ perfusion) after a period of ischemia or lack of oxygen (anoxia or hypoxia).
Emergency bypass surgery for the treatment of an acute myocardial infarction (MI) is less common than PCI or thrombolysis. From 1995 to 2004, the percentage of people with cardiogenic shock treated with primary PCI rose from 27.4% to 54.4%, while the increase in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) was only from 2.1% to 3.2%.

Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome, also known as reperfusion syndrome, is a dysregulated state of cerebral blood flow following the restoration of arterial blood flow to the brain, usually following treatment of carotid artery stenosis. [1]
They are known as the "5 Ps": pain, pallor, decreased pulse, paresthesia, and paralysis. [6] Pain and paresthesia are the early symptoms of compartment syndrome. [17] [6] Common symptoms are: Pain: A person may feel pain greater than the exam findings. [6] This pain may not be relieved by strong painkillers, including opioids like morphine. [18]
The blood pump is then switched off, and the interval of circulatory arrest begins. At this time more blood is drained to reduce residual blood pressure if surgery on a cerebral aneurysm is to be performed to help create a bloodless surgical field. [41] After surgery is completed during the period of cold circulatory arrest, these steps are ...
Pain distal to the fistula. Symptoms are graded by their severity: [3] Grade 0: No symptoms of steal; Grade 1: Mild - cool extremity, improvement in hand pulse with access occlusion; Grade 2: Moderate - Ischemic symptoms during dialysis; Grade 3: Severe - Ischemic hand pain outside of dialysis; Ulcers or gangrene of the fingers
