Does carotid artery stenosis use to hit abdomen needle

summary

Arteries transport nutritious and oxygenated blood from the heart, and then flow up and down, one to the body and the other to the brain. Let's talk about whether people with carotid stenosis need to have a belly needle.

Does carotid artery stenosis use to hit abdomen needle

First of all, there is no need for abdominal acupuncture. Basically, drug treatment and surgery are the best treatment methods. The effect of abdominal acupuncture is very slow. medication. The basic method is to take antiplatelet drugs for a long time (such as aspirin or clopidogrel), but it is only suitable for asymptomatic patients with stenosis less than 50%. Further treatment is generally recommended for patients with stenosis more than 75%.

And then carotid artery surgery. The basic method is endarterectomy to remove the artery stenosis and atherosclerotic plaque, restore the cerebral blood supply and eliminate the source of cerebral infarction emboli. The operation is relatively mature and has been carried out for more than 50 years. In the past, the perioperative stroke and mortality rate of the operation was about 5.6%. Now the bypass tube is used in the operation to maintain the blood supply of carotid artery and remove the intimal plaque, which effectively reduces the perioperative stroke and mortality rate. The disadvantage of this operation is that it needs general anesthesia, the neck incision and trauma are large, and the recovery is slow. The advantage is that the hyperplastic intima and sclerotic plaque are completely removed, the chance of restenosis is small, and it does not need to take antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs for life.

Finally, endovascular treatment of carotid artery was performed. That is to say, balloon dilatation is used in the treatment of carotid artery stenosis. This method has the advantages of small trauma, simple operation, rapid onset, rapid recovery, exact curative effect and repeatable operation. Under local anesthesia, a catheter with a diameter of about 2 mm is inserted into the femoral artery to deliver the catheter to the carotid artery stenosis. After selecting the right position, balloon dilatation and stent placement are performed to complete the expansion molding of the carotid artery stenosis and improve the supply of cerebral blood flow. The disadvantage of stent release is that it may induce the small embolus of unstable plaque to fall off, cause "stroke" cerebral infarction, as well as the possibility of vasospasm, intimal damage and postoperative restenosis.

matters needing attention

People with carotid artery stenosis should not eat greasy food and stimulating food in life. They should pay attention to fresh fruits and vegetables, and actively participate in physical exercise. They should not be exposed to the sun and do very tired physical work.
