The risk of coronary stent surgery

summary

My father suffered from high blood pressure for 25 years. Before that, he didn't have much symptoms. But I don't know why he always felt chest tightness and shortness of breath when climbing stairs or walking fast recently. He did cardiac color Doppler ultrasound and dynamic electrocardiogram in the hospital. The doctor suspected that it was coronary heart disease and angina pectoris. The day after tomorrow, he would do coronary angiography. I was very worried that there would be problems and needed to put stents. I heard that some people would reverse after putting stents And soon passed away, through the network I learned a lot about knowledge, the following about coronary heart disease stent surgery risk.

The risk of coronary stent surgery

First, patients must pay attention to coronary stenting, because it has the advantages of small trauma, rapid recovery and immediate effect, saving the lives of countless patients with coronary heart disease. However, some people are too superstitious about its curative effect and think that as long as it is installed, it is equivalent to insurance and can be used once and for all. In fact, stent surgery has indications, not all patients with coronary heart disease are suitable.

Second: patients must understand that coronary heart disease, but coronary artery stenosis does not meet the requirements of surgery, coronary artery disease is serious, more suitable for cardiac surgery bypass surgery. The patients who can't be treated with antiplatelet therapy for a long time after operation, such as bleeding constitution, complicated with other serious diseases, including malignant tumor, etc., are not expected to survive for a long time.

Third: patients must understand that putting the stent which should not be placed will not only bring mental pressure and drug side effects to patients, but also lead to more serious myocardial infarction. At present, almost all cardiac stents are drug-eluting stents. Compared with bare stents, they are not only more expensive, but also need to take clopidogrel for one year and aspirin for life to fight thrombosis. These two drugs not only stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, but also have the risk of bleeding.
