Is cardiac stent risky

summary

Cardiac stenting is a new technique to improve myocardial insufficiency and cardiac artery occlusion caused by coronary heart disease. The process of cardiac stent surgery is to puncture the blood vessel, make the catheter move forward in the blood vessel, reach the opening of coronary artery, use a special delivery system to transport the stent to the place where it needs to be placed, place and withdraw the catheter, and end the operation. Cardiac stenting can temporarily dredge the coronary artery, improve the blood supply to the heart of patients, and maintain the life of endangered patients. So is the risk of cardiac stenting high.

Is cardiac stent risky

First, if the stent is put in and propped up, it doesn't mean that this vessel or this part won't have stenosis or obstruction again. In addition, it doesn't mean that coronary heart disease will be cured. Because patients with coronary heart disease usually have many stenoses, we can only perform 1-2 stent operations on the heart, and other parts should be treated with drugs to prevent the recurrence of propped up vessels There is no pathological change.

Second: any operation is risky. After stent implantation, there may be re occlusion, even stent shedding, cardiac arrest, and massive hemorrhage caused by anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents. We should keep this knowledge in mind.

Third: some over treatment is one-time, but the stent that should not be put into the blood vessel is one of the most serious and lifelong over treatment. The mental pressure, drug side effects and inconvenience of other operations brought by it will not disappear with time.
