Descriptor reperfusión
Scope note: Restablecimiento del suministro de sangre al tejido en estado isquémico como consecuencia de una disminución del suministro normal de sangre. La disminución puede tener cualquier origen, como la obstrucción ateroesclerótica, estrechamiento de una arteria, o pinzamiento quirúrgico. Es un procedimiento para tratar, principalmente, el infarto u otras isquemias, al permitir la recuperación del tejido isquémico, limitando de este modo una mayor necrosis. Sin embargo, se piensa que la reperfusión puede por sí misma lesionar el tejido isquémico, ocasionando una LESIÓN POR REPERFUSIÓN.

Scope note: Restoration of blood supply to tissue which is ischemic due to decrease in normal blood supply. The decrease may result from any source including atherosclerotic obstruction, narrowing of the artery, or surgical clamping. It is primarily a procedure for treating infarction or other ischemia, by enabling viable ischemic tissue to recover, thus limiting further necrosis. However, it is thought that reperfusion can itself further damage the ischemic tissue, causing REPERFUSION INJURY.
