cardiac stent is a medical device placed during cardiac interventional surgery. It is mainly used to treat coronary heart disease . When the blood vessels supplying the heart are blocked, it can be stretched open through the stent to ensure normal blood flow or close to normal, so that the heart can work normally.

With the popularity of heart stents, it has also caused a lot of criticism. Some people believe that they will not live long after installing stents , and this remark cannot be tenable.

Although the stent is a certain risk in responsibilities for installation, it may cause complications such as acute thrombosis in the stent and restenosis in the stent, the probability of this is very small.

cardiac stent surgery has been very mature and has successfully saved the lives of many patients with acute myocardial infarction. Therefore, you should also install it, and don’t refuse it because of some false remarks.

What situation does it take to put a bracket?

worsens after taking the medicine

Many patients with coronary heart disease will take conservative treatment of drugs. Some drugs will undergo malignant disease changes during the treatment of the disease. This situation is very unfavorable to health and requires a stent to better target malignant changes.

Emergency attack

For patients with inertial diseases who have an emergency attack, putting a heart stent during the treatment process can control the disease and play a role in delaying the disease.

Coronary stenosis index exceeds 70%

According to the coronary stenosis index, you can judge whether it is suitable for heart stents. Under normal circumstances, if the coronary stenosis index exceeds 70%, it is best to put a stent. If the takeaway stenosis index is less than 70%, then there is no need to put a stent.

Three "rumors" about the misunderstanding of the scaffold

The scaffold has been eliminated abroad?

stents have not been eliminated in the past or abroad or in China, and they have been used more often. According to data from the Journal of the American Society of Cardiology, the number of patients receiving stent treatment in the United States has increased from 2013 to 2017, so stents have not been eliminated abroad.

is still young, can't you put the bracket? Whether

Whether a stent needs to be placed is not the main reason for consideration. It mainly depends on the condition of the patient, nor does it mean that as long as the blood vessel is blocked, it must be placed. There are standards for stent placement, and it depends on the degree of stenosis of the blood vessels.

If the vascular stenosis is high and there are no other risk factors, it is not necessary to place a stent. The doctor will judge whether the patient needs to place a stent based on the patient's actual condition.

Putting a heart stent hurts your body?

patients with coronary heart disease must always take medicine regardless of whether the stent is placed or not. It has little to do with the stent. After putting it in the stent, the risk of thrombosis may increase to a certain extent, but the risk will be greatly reduced after one year, but the medication cannot be stopped.

If you stop the medication without authorization, the condition may develop faster. Generally speaking, as long as the patient takes medication in a standardized manner, there is no great risk, but if adverse reactions occur, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

How long can you live after installing a heart stent? The doctor told the truth

is really hard to answer this question, because how long it takes to live is not determined by coronary heart disease. How many years can you live after installing the heart stent is related to the timing of the stent, the state of coronary activation, subsequent treatment, the patient's systemic state, etc.

I hope everyone can clearly understand that the prognosis of patients undergoing cardiac stent surgery is better than those with coronary stenosis or similar condition, and those who do not receive stent implantation treatment, and their quality of life will be higher.

After the stent surgery, if the patient can take the medicine on time and dosage as per the doctor's instructions, change his bad life and eating habits in time, and review regularly, it can greatly prolong his survival and even live like a normal person.

The heart stent itself will not affect a person's life span. If the patient recovers well, he can live for 20 or 30 years more. If the risk factors for cardiovascular disease are not controlled after the operation, the blood vessels will be narrowed again, and two stents are required, and a myocardial infarction may also occur.

For patients who have repeatedly implanted stents, have a myocardial infarction, have had a myocardial infarction before the stent, have damaged heart function, and have heart failure , the survival rate for 5 years is about 50%.

At present, cardiac stent surgery is a very mature minimally invasive surgery. For patients with myocardial infarction, it is undoubtedly the fastest and most direct treatment plan.
