Will the life of the heart stent become shorter after being placed for a long time, and how long is

For those patients with severe coronary heart disease who need to have a stent implanted, the most important thing to consider is whether the stent will affect the life expectancy? To be honest, let everyone think about it, after all, life is only once for everyone.

In fact, in layman's terms, not everyone with coronary heart disease needs to implant a stent**. For patients who particularly need to implant stents, it is mainly those with acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris and other acute coronary syndromes. In summary, if the patient has significant myocardial ischemia and most of the coronary artery stenosis is 75%, it is indeed likely that a stent will be needed.

However, for these people, the stent is implanted to save lives, to prolong lives. Needless to say, patients with myocardial infarction will either die or have heart failure if they do not put a stent in many cases. For those patients with angina pectoris with severe coronary stenosis, for example, the coronary artery is 95% narrow, and the stent is implanted to prevent the lesion from progressing to acute myocardial infarction, which is also to prolong the patient's life.

Therefore, for most patients who should have a stent, the stent is placed to prolong life.

Of course, we do not shy away from the problem, some people have a stent thrombosis after stenting, and some events even have serious consequences, which should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. So, what do we need to pay attention to after we put the stent? It should be said that patients who have stents need to pay special attention to taking medication on time, having regular check-ups, and timely follow-up if they have any conditions, and it is also necessary to improve their lifestyle.

Do these things well, and most people's endings are still good.

Indeed, there are very few cases, because of the acute thrombosis of the stent itself, and sudden death occurs before it can be rescued. But this is a very, very rare case. Just like a plane crash in a few years, we can't deny the greatness of an airplane because of an occasional time, and we don't dare to take another plane.

The stent can only temporarily save the life of myocardial infarction, and improve the symptoms of some patients with severe cardiovascular stenosis, and after solving the stenosis problem, the mission of the stent is basically over. However, coronary heart disease is still present, causing narrowing of blood vessels** is always present, and the risk of causing blood clots is always present. Therefore, whether to do stents or not, we all need to prevent the increase of vascular waste and prevent thrombosis.

All patients with coronary heart disease, including those after stenting, should adhere to a healthy life, adhere to regular medication according to the doctor's guidance, and have regular reexaminations according to the doctor's requirements, otherwise not only the stent may be blocked again, but other blood vessels may be further narrowed or even blocked.

According to relevant information, after putting a heart stent, it has an impact, after all, when the body has a problem, if it is not treated in time, it is very rare to live longer, and after the stent is placed, at least the life will change. After placing the stent, how long can a person live, this is not a certain guarantee value, after all, everyone's physical condition is different, people with good physical fitness can be the same as ordinary people, normal aging.

After the heart stent is implanted in the human body, it will be fused with the blood vessels, and it is not necessary to take it out of the body, and the implanted heart stent will not shorten the survival life of the heart patient.

Generally speaking, a heart stent is a device that helps the human heart work, and the impact on life expectancy is positive.

If a stent is placed in a heart attack, how many years can the stent be used at most?

I am always asked how many years a heart stent will work after it is placed, but this question is very difficult because there are so many factors that affect the life of the stent. I'm going to talk to you about it concisely today.

What is a cardiac stent?

Cardiac stents, also known as coronary stents, are commonly used medical devices in cardiac interventional surgery, which have the effect of unblocking arteries and blood vessels. The main materials are stainless steel, nitinol or cobalt-chrome. It first appeared in the 80s of the 20th century, and has experienced the development process of metal stents, drug-coated stents, and bioresorbable stents.

It is mainly used for patients with coronary heart disease, if there are patients due to atherosclerosis caused by the narrowing of the coronary arteries, which causes a decrease in the external blood supply, resulting in ischemia of the distant myocardium. Unable to maintain normal heart function, and there are symptoms of myocardial insufficiency and ischemia, such as chest pain and limited activity, coronary intervention** is required to relieve the stenosis of blood vessels.

How many years does a cardiac stent last?

In fact, it is different from what many people think, some people say that it is permanent, in fact, this is a wrong concept, after the heart stent is implanted in the human body, under normal circumstances, the stent and the blood vessel will be integrated in three to four or five years, at this time, the stent no longer plays the role of supporting the blood vessels in the body, so the stent at this time has no effect, but the stent cannot be taken out in the human body, and the stent and the blood vessel at this time are integrated. Therefore, there is no so-called "service life" or "life" of stents, there is only one restenosis problem, generally if it is not successful, it generally occurs within half a year, the restenosis rate of ordinary bare stents is 20-30%, and the restenosis rate of drug-coated stents is about 10%, but there are not so many serious restenosis that need to be treated. If restenosis does not occur for half a year, the site where the stent is implanted will generally not have restenosis, and of course there is no need for further treatment.

Therefore, there is no such thing as "after the expiration date, you will have to undergo surgery to replace the stent" or "the heart stent has a lifespan". However, new lesions may develop in other parts of the patient's blood vessels, which is another problem.

How can I increase the effect of the stent?

In order to achieve good results after cardiac stent surgery, it is important to maintain good lifestyle habits after cardiac stent surgery, and to quit smoking and drinking. Many people have heart function decline when heart disease changes, and there are still behaviors such as smoking and drinking, which can easily accelerate the lesion and aging of blood vessels, and the phenomenon of reduced heart function will become more and more obvious.

To prevent this from happening, you should break bad habits and control heart disease as soon as possible. If you have been improved by heart stent surgery, you should also stay away from bad lifestyle habits and quit smoking and alcohol to maintain your health.

1. The length of life after cardiac stent surgery can not be generalized, because everyone's physical condition is different, the mentality is different, and the sense of survival is not the same, but also pay attention to the postoperative recuperation, and daily maintenance and stent implantation for the condition of the banquet ** whether the standard and other factors have a greater impact. Therefore, the life expectancy after cardiac stent surgery can be long, and the time will be within 1 year**.

21. Patients should insist on taking medication and pay attention to self-observation. After stent surgery, it is often necessary to take more types and quantities of drugs, if there are symptoms such as ** or gastrointestinal bleeding, fatigue and weakness, you should bring the discharge summary and the information of the drugs taken to the hospital as soon as possible. If a stent patient receives a miscellaneous** and needs to stop taking the medication, the decision should be made after consultation with the cardiologist.

2. Check regularly. This includes checking blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, blood viscosity, etc. If these four indicators cannot be maintained at a good level, patients will be at risk in about half a year.

Patients with pre-existing hypertension, diabetes and cerebrovascular disease should pay more attention to the primary disease and regular examination. Even if there is no primary disease, it should be rechecked every 2 to 3 months, and if the index is higher than the normal range, it is necessary to actively take ** measures.

3. Cardiac stent surgery can temporarily dredge the coronary arteries, improve the blood supply to the patient's heart, and maintain the normal life of the endangered patient.

Secondly, it is important to emphasize that although cardiac stent surgery is not very complicated, it does not mean that there are no risks associated with stenting surgery.

4. The stent is lifelong, and there is no service life. However, restenosis may occur in the blood vessel where the stent is implanted. Therefore, after cardiac stent implantation, it is necessary to take antiplatelet, lipid regulating and other drugs** regularly to avoid or delay the occurrence of in-stent restenosis.

A considerable number of patients with coronary heart disease will also have symptoms of chest pain and tightness after surgery, and they need to pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue, excitement, overeating, etc.

Stent for myocardial infarction is the best means to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, because after the stent surgery, the relevant high-risk factors need to be prevented and controlled, and it is necessary to pay attention to the secondary prevention of myocardial infarction.

Studies at home and abroad have found that through the heart system, patients with myocardial infarction can return to normal life, even better than their previous life.

It's hard to say, as long as you take medicine on time according to the doctor's instructions, recheck, and properly regulate your diet, there will generally be no major problems.
