Departamentul Medicină Internă, USMF Nicolae Testemiţanu, IMSP SCM Sfânta TreimeThe treatment tactics in patients with myocardial infarction in subacute period has rarely presented in international guides and protocols dealing with acute myocardial infarction. This article presents clinical case that demonstrates how the restoration of coronary fl ow even in the late period leads to reperfusion of the ischemia site and inhibits necrosis and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes.
