Adjunctive intracoronary administration of nicorandil, an ATP-sensitive potassium channel opener, after successful coronary revascularization was performed in a 54-year-old patient with acute myocardial infarction. The `no-reflow' phenomenon disappeared after nicorandil administration and significant functional recovery of the infarcted myocardium was achieved. This suggests that nicorandil could eliminate the `no-reflow' phenomenon after successful coronary revascularization. (Jpn Circ J 1997; 61: 455 - 458)
