How about making a heart stent?

summary

With the development of cardiac stent intervention, the life channel which is on the verge of obstruction flows the blood of life again, bringing new life to many patients with coronary heart disease. Many patients with coronary heart disease think that the more expensive the cardiac stent, the better. In fact, it is not. Let's understand it together.

How about making a heart stent?

First: drug eluting stents are expensive, but they are not suitable for all patients with coronary heart disease. For example, it is not suitable for elderly patients with vascular enlargement or over 80 years old. Bare metal stents are more suitable for these patients. Because patients must take antiplatelet drugs for life after drug-eluting stent placement, it may lead to cerebral hemorrhage or stroke. Bare stents are not only cheap and safe, but also can return to normal after taking antiplatelet drugs for only four weeks.

Second: many patients often have such a psychological, cardiac stent must be put into the import to "practical". In fact, this is a misunderstanding. According to the clinical follow-up, the efficacy and safety of domestic stent is similar to that of imported stent. Whether it is stent intervention or surgical bypass surgery, these treatments are only "temporary but not permanent", not once and for all!

Third: heart stents. They are like "pipe repairmen". By "Dredging" or "bridging", they temporarily dredge blood vessels, restore blood supply, and improve the patient's symptoms. If we don't pay attention to change the bad living habits after the operation, the pipeline will be silted up and the heart will have new problems.

matters needing attention

Due to the lack of understanding of coronary heart disease and attention to its high recurrence rate, many people, even though they have been in treatment, often stop taking drugs without authorization after a period of treatment, resulting in acute recurrence. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a progressive chronic disease with the characteristics of high recurrence. Once it relapses, it will bring greater threat to health and even life, and will have serious consequences.
