Can renal artery stenosis do heart bypass surgery?

summary

My father has been suffering from high blood pressure for more than ten years. The highest blood pressure has reached 220. He fainted a few days ago. He was sent to the hospital and found that it was left renal artery stenosis. The doctor prescribed the medicine, but it didn't work. It seemed that he was going to have a heart bypass operation. Today, let me talk to you about whether renal artery stenosis can be treated by heart bypass surgery.

Can renal artery stenosis do heart bypass surgery?

First: in principle, it is not suitable for stenting or bridging. Bypass is usually caused by vascular blockage. Chinese medicine should be used to improve symptoms. Only by improving the function of heart and other organs can the symptoms be improved. If you can't change heart function, stent or bypass can't effectively control the disease.

Second, coronary heart disease is more dangerous than renal artery stenosis. Renal artery stenosis can mainly cause hypertension and renal dysfunction. For patients, the current diagnosis of renal artery stenosis is based on renal artery ultrasound, but it is not enough to determine the specific degree of renal artery stenosis and whether the patient needs stent implantation. To make this clear, renal arteriography is necessary.

Third, if the patient does not have abnormal renal function, it means that the patient's tolerance to cardiac surgery may not be lower than other people. Therefore, under normal circumstances, we can allow patients to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting as soon as possible, and then do renal angiography after recovery, which may lead to the problem of renal artery stent.

matters needing attention

Renal artery stenosis is the hidden killer of hypertension and renal function damage. However, as long as we find renal artery stenosis early, treat it in time, and protect our renal function, we must regularly review after operation, timely understand the patency of renal stent and the changes of renal function, and solve the problems in time to prevent future trouble.
