Whether coronary stent is a myth or a lie, there will be under treatment or over treatment,which will ultimately damage the interests of patients.We should have a correct understanding of coronary stent in order to use it more reasonably.
For patients with stable angina pectoris,it is suggested that on the basis of changing life style and regulating sufficient drug treatment, the benefits and risks brought by stent operation should be fully evaluated and weighed according to the severity of symptoms and the degree of vascular stenosis. If the symptoms couldn’t be relieved or even aggravated under drug control, PCI is recommended.
If more than one of the main arteries that supply myocardial blood, coronary arteries or three vessels, have occurred calcified lesions, there may be problems such as excessive stent quantity and poor stent adherence when coronary stent surgery is carried out in this situation. Therefore, it is recommended to give priority to cardiac bypass surgery.
When acute myocardial infarction occurs, stent is life-saving, time is myocardial. Early implementation of emergency PCI can significantly improve the prognosis of patients and reduce mortality.
In addition, we should remind you that stent placement does not cure coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction, because it neither eliminates plaque nor prevents plaque growth. To prevent restenosis and control the development of coronary heart disease, it is necessary to improve the life style, take medicine and exercise properly.
Finally, I wish you all a happy life and good health!To learn more about cardiovascular disease, please pay attention to us. See you next time.
