“…Genetic preponderance, ischemic injury, reperfusion injury and micro emboli have all been postulated as the causative mechanism for this dreaded complication. 9 In our study NRP occurred in every fourth patient i.e., 25% incidence. Different studies have put the incidence of NRP from 5-50%.…”

“…The development of interventional methods for the treatment of acute coronary syndromes is widely implemented through percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which is a life-saving procedure and the best method of reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation [19]. Despite this, there is an ongoing debate among scientists regarding the risks of developing fatal and non-fatal complications after stenting [20,21].…”
