When do I need a cardiac stent?

Cardiac stent intervention is one of the important methods for patients with coronary heart disease, if the elderly have coronary heart disease, many underlying diseases, and the body is relatively weak, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the condition and formulate the most appropriate plan. Experts said that the elderly with coronary heart disease should seek medical attention to a specialized hospital in a timely manner, improve electrocardiogram, cardiac color ultrasound, coronary angiography and other related examinations to understand the degree and scope of coronary artery stenosis, and make a clear diagnosis. According to the results of coronary angiography, the rational application of drugs, intracoronary stent intervention and bypass surgery** methods.

Whether a heart stent can be done depends on the specific condition and is considered comprehensively in combination with the general physical condition of the elderly.

Patients with high-risk myocardial ischemia, moderate to severe angina, and myocardial infarction can usually consider cardiac stent intervention, and the specific regimen should strictly follow the indications. If the elderly patients with coronary heart disease have good physical fitness, good heart function, no comorbidities, and stable vital signs, cardiac stents are still an ideal method for coronary heart disease. Cardiac stent is a minimally invasive technology that does not require thoracotomy and general anesthesia, and has the advantages of small trauma, light pain, fast recovery, and does not affect aesthetics, which helps to restore the patency of distal blood vessels, and the cardiac function can be improved, which can reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and sudden death.

In order to prevent in-stent restenosis, patients should regularly take lipid-adjusting, antiplatelet, crown expansion and other drugs under the guidance of doctors after surgery to delay the process of atherosclerosis, stabilize the condition and improve long-term prognosis. In daily life, we should also pay attention to maintenance, pay attention to diet, stay away from tobacco and alcohol, ensure rest, appropriate activities, maintain emotional stability, and have regular follow-up. <>

Generally speaking, in the case of severe coronary stenosis, the common traditional stent is metal, which is permanently in the body after implantation, and now there are stents that can be degraded, and the stents that are slowly degraded and absorbed after implantation will not be permanently in the body, and the blood vessels will also restore elasticity. In 2019, there was a bioresorbable stent in China, Lepu's. What kind of stent to put in the specific situation, you need to go to the hospital for examination, and make a choice according to the condition and the specific situation of the patient.

Can I do manual labor after being put on the bracket, and will it harm my life in the future? I'm only 48 years old? Why do you get coronary heart disease?

In the case of seeing how much RMB there is, a heart stent needs to be done.

I have 3 stents and 2 drug balloons, and I will put them in next month.

This specific condition is analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Cardiac stents, also known as coronary stents, are commonly used medical devices in cardiac interventional surgery and have the effect of unblocking arterial blood vessels. Cardiac stents first appeared in the 80s of the 20th century, and experienced the development of metal stents, coated stents, and soluble stents, and the main materials are stainless steel, nitinol or cobalt-chromium alloy.

For patients with stenosis of more than 70%, depending on the patient's condition, if the patient is stable, drugs can be used**, or stents** can be used. The biggest benefit of stent intervention** is mainly that it reduces the onset of angina, which may improve the quality of life of this patient. Medications** can also reduce angina attacks, but stenosis is there.

I hope mine will help you and I wish you health and happiness. <>

I usually drink Panax notoginseng powder.

Two years ago, Mr. Li suffered a sudden myocardial infarction and underwent heart stent surgery and placed a stent. After the stent surgery, his symptoms improved a lot, so he didn't pay attention to the precautions such as postoperative medication told by the doctor. Recently, Mr. Li began to have heart discomfort and chest tightness again, and it became more and more serious, and he rushed to the hospital for a follow-up, and it was found that the coronary artery with the stent was narrowed again.

Doctors believe this is related to the fact that he did not take his medication on time and continued to smoke and drink alcohol after his last surgery.

Some patients think that if they have a heart stent, they will have complete coronary heart disease, and they will have peace of mind and no longer need to do it. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding, and it is also very important to take medication and a healthy lifestyle after surgery. "The stent only shows that the blockage and stenosis of this blood vessel have been solved, although the symptoms of coronary heart disease have been alleviated, but it does not mean that coronary heart disease is **, and risk factors such as hyperlipidemia and hypertension still exist.

Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease, and even if a stent is placed, other blood vessels may become blocked and narrowed if the risk factors are not actively controlled, and the place where the stent is placed may become narrowed again. Liu Zhijun, deputy chief physician of the Department of Cardiology of the Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease Hospital of Ningbo Medical University, reminded.

After stent surgery, you should also insist on taking medication to control blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure. Antiplatelet agglutinating drugs should also be taken as prescribed, usually in addition to aspirin, in combination with other anticoagulant drugs for about a year to prevent platelets from accumulating on the stent and causing in-stent restenosis. Director Liu emphasized.

Cardiac stent interventional surgery, like a "plumbing repairman", temporarily unclogs blood vessels through "dredging", restores blood **, and improves the patient's symptoms. If the patient does not take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions and does not pay attention to changing the bad lifestyle habits after the operation, the pipes may become stagnant and the heart will have new problems.

Patients with coronary heart disease should eat a light diet and eat less foods with high cholesterol, oil, salt and sugar to delay the process of atherosclerosis. You can eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Patients with coronary heart disease who have smoking and drinking habits should pay attention to quitting smoking and alcohol after surgery.

Some patients with coronary heart disease will be afraid of exercise after stenting, thinking that they will not be able to exercise after stenting. In fact, exercise can promote blood circulation, make blood vessels more elastic, after making a heart stent, the body is in the recovery stage, it is recommended to take a walk at the beginning, and then slowly increase the amount of exercise.

Adverse mood may worsen and trigger an ischemic attack. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a stable and optimistic mood and ensure adequate sleep after stenting. Patients should go to the hospital for regular follow-up examinations according to the doctor's instructions after surgery.
