TIMI

⅞⅜TIMI stands for 'Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction' Trial and is the name of a study group coordinating several trials, particularly focusing on percutaneous coronary intervention, thrombolysis as well as cardiovascular disease in general.

'TIMI Grade Flow' is a widely adopted scoring system from 0-3 referring to levels of coronary blood flow assessed during percutaneous coronary angioplasty:
 * TIMI 0 flow (no perfusion) refers to the absence of any antegrade flow beyond a coronary occlusion.
 * TIMI 1 flow (penetration without perfusion) is faint antegrade coronary flow beyond the occlusion, with incomplete filling of the distal coronary bed.
 * TIMI 2 flow (partial reperfusion) is delayed or sluggish antegrade flow with complete filling of the distal territory.
 * TIMI 3 flow (complete perfusion) is normal flow which fills the distal coronary bed completely
