In the case of a TIMI Flow Grade 0, 1, or 1.5 there is no measurable TIMI Frame Count; therefore, DNA (Does Not Apply) is recorded on the case report form in the TIMI Frame Count field.

Overview

TIMI Grade 0 flow is defined as no perfusion. There is no antegrade flow beyond the point of occlusion.[1] [2] [3]

Example

Shown below are an animated image and a static image depicting TIMI flow grade 0 in the RCA. Outlined in blue in the second image is the flow of the dye which completely stops at the level of the stenosis. Outlined with a yellow dashed line is the pathway that the dye would have filled in case the stenosis was absent.

TIMI flow grade 0 in RCA TIMI flow grade 0 in RCA: Outlined in blue in the second image is the flow of the dye which completely stops at the level of the stenosis; outlined with a yellow dashed line is the pathway that the dye would have filled in case the stenosis was absent.
