What are the differences between cardiac bypass surgery and cardiac stent

summary

My mother brought up our brothers and sisters by herself. Now Lao Li is not in good health. He often says that his heart is uncomfortable. Later, he learned that he had coronary heart disease. The doctor said that he could have heart bypass surgery or cardiac stent surgery. Now let's talk about the differences between heart bypass surgery and cardiac stent.

What are the differences between cardiac bypass surgery and cardiac stent

First: heart bypass, also known as coronary artery bypass grafting, is to establish a channel between the proximal and distal end of coronary artery stenosis, so that blood can bypass the narrow median and reach the distal end, just as a bridge makes the road across mountains and rivers unimpeded. Cardiac stenting is to puncture the blood vessel and make the catheter move forward in the blood vessel to reach the opening of coronary artery.

Second: because the abnormal state of the blood has not changed, it is possible to have chronic stenosis again. Many patients have chest pain symptoms, resulting in a second operation half a year to a year after the operation, and then stent placement or bypass.

Third: the main purpose of heart bypass surgery is to re channel the blocked blood vessels and re form the access, while the main purpose of stent surgery is to support the narrow blood vessels with stents so that the blood can circulate, but the latter needs to change the stents in a certain period of time according to the length of materials and time.

matters needing attention

The purpose of heart bypass surgery and stent surgery is to improve blood circulation. If you want to understand the difference between heart bypass surgery and stent surgery, it is mainly possible to have heart disease and coronary heart disease. No matter what kind of surgical treatment is adopted, it needs to be decided according to the needs of the disease.
