Cardiac stent surgery is a complex and delicate procedure that is commonly used for heart disease. It involves implanting a metal stent into the coronary arteries of the heart to restore or improve blood flow, thereby relieving heart problems such as angina, myocardial infarction, etc.
In cardiac stent surgery, doctors first inject a contrast agent through a catheter into the coronary arteries to see how narrowed the blood vessels are and how well they flow blood. The doctor then fits a collapsible metal stent into the catheter and passes it through the catheter into the narrowed part of the coronary artery.
Once in the designated position, the stent inflates on its own, supporting it in the inner wall of the blood vessel to ensure that blood can flow through the area unimpeded. It requires the expertise of the doctor and the full cooperation of the patient to ensure the success of the surgery and improve the patient's health.
In fact, there has been a rumor circulating on the Internet that cardiac stent surgery has been gradually discontinued in China because the risk of the procedure is too high. In response, Beijing TV has reported that China is gradually stopping the installation of cardiac stents and instead using grinding probes to remove hard lumps in the heart and blood vessels by going back and forth**.
Some people even said that this method has been put into use in Shanghai Chest Hospital and is expected to be fully promoted. The most important thing is that some netizens attached a section of surgery ** in the message, which aroused widespread attention and heated discussions among the public.
However, this is really just a rumor. The chief physician of the cardiovascular department of Beijing Anzhen Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University pointed out that the blood vessels shown in ** are more like organs connected to the ureters, that is, the plaque in the broken kidney in the body looks like a stone, so this is a process of lithotripsy, rather than the vascular plaque as reported on the Internet.
In addition, according to the information data released by the National Organization ** Medical Consumables Joint Procurement Office, from January to August 2021, 1.1 million cardiac stents were used in medical institutions, an increase of 54% over the same period last year. As can be seen from this data, cardiac stents are still in high demand and have not been eliminated.
Cardiac stents can help dilate blood vessels and improve heart disease symptoms, which is beneficial to the human body. Therefore, the statement that cardiac stent surgery will be gradually stopped in China is a baseless rumor, and I hope you will not believe it easily.
Coronary heart disease is a common heart disease that usually results from ischemia or necrosis of the heart muscle due to narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries. If doctors suspect that a patient has coronary heart disease, they may recommend a coronary angiography, which is an X-ray that shows the heart's vascular structure and blood flow.
During a coronary angiogram, if a narrowed or blocked blood vessel is found, your doctor may recommend a heart stent. A stent is a metal or plastic mesh structure that dilates narrowed blood vessels and keeps them open. This helps improve blood flow to the heart muscle** and reduces angina and other symptoms.
However, not all patients with coronary heart disease need to have a heart stent fitted. For some patients with mild stenosis, medications** and lifestyle changes may be sufficient. For some patients with severe stenosis or blockage, more complex** protocols such as coronary artery bypass surgery may be required.
In addition, cardiac stents are not a permanent solution. Over time, blood vessels may narrow or become blocked again. Therefore, patients need to undergo regular follow-up examinations and follow-up visits to ensure that the stent is still valid and that the necessary measures are taken in time to keep the blood vessels open.
In fact, this statement is not accurate. In fact, cardiac stents are still widely used in the United States, as well as many other countries, and are an effective method for certain heart conditions.
A cardiac stent is a medical device that is commonly used to dilate the coronary arteries to improve blood supply to the heart muscle. In some cases, such as narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries, heart stents can save lives.
While cardiac stent technology has been around for many years and has had some controversy, many experts and doctors still consider it to be the best option for certain heart conditions. Cardiac stent surgery is a common** method in the United States, and a large number of patients undergo this procedure each year.
Of course, with the continuous advancement of medical technology, new methods are constantly emerging. Some new technologies, such as drug-eluting stents and absorbable stents, are gradually replacing traditional cardiac stents. These new technologies may be more suitable for some patients due to their better biocompatibility and fewer complications.
However, this does not mean that cardiac stents have been phased out in the United States. In fact, many patients still benefit from cardiac stent surgery. Therefore, we should choose the appropriate method according to the specific situation of the patient and the doctor's recommendation. While new technologies are constantly evolving, cardiac stents are still one of the effective methods for certain heart conditions.
The answer to this question is not a simple yes or no, but needs to be popularized and explained from multiple perspectives.
First, we need to clarify the purpose of cardiac stent surgery. Cardiac stent surgery is an effective method for coronary heart disease, by placing a stent in the coronary artery, it can restore or improve the blood supply to the heart muscle, thereby relieving symptoms such as angina. Therefore, from a ** point of view, cardiac stent surgery is a positive ** means and is beneficial for patients with coronary heart disease.
However, just like any surgery, there are certain risks associated with cardiac stent surgery and *** complications such as blood vessel damage, bleeding, etc., may occur during the procedure. In addition, some medications need to be taken after the surgery to prevent blood clots and other complications. These factors can cause certain psychological and financial stress for patients.
Therefore, for those who are worried that their body will be "wasted" after heart stent surgery, doctors need to educate the following truths:
1. Cardiac stent surgery is an effective means to help patients relieve symptoms such as angina pectoris and improve their quality of life.
2. There are certain risks and risks in the process of surgery, but as long as the operation and postoperative care are carried out under the guidance of professional doctors, the incidence of complications can be effectively reduced.
3. Some medications need to be taken after surgery to prevent thrombosis and other complications, but these drugs usually do not have much effect on the body.
In conclusion, cardiac stent surgery is an effective method, but it requires surgery and postoperative care under the guidance of a professional doctor. For those who are worried that their bodies will be "wasted", doctors need to popularize the above truths to dispel their doubts and fears.
Rest and recovery: Adequate rest is required after surgery to avoid overexertion. Depending on the type and complexity of the surgery, the recovery time will also vary. During the recovery period, one should follow your doctor's advice and avoid strenuous exercise or overexertion.
Dietary adjustments: Dietary adjustments will need to be made after surgery to facilitate recovery. Spicy, greasy, and irritating foods should be avoided and foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, such as lean meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc., should be consumed.
Infection prevention: It is necessary to pay attention to infection prevention after surgery. Keep the surgical site clean and dry and avoid contact with contaminants or water. If you notice any abnormalities, such as redness, swelling, pain, fever, etc., you should seek medical attention promptly.
Pain management: There may be pain and discomfort after surgery. You should follow your doctor's advice to take pain medication or other pain relief measures on time to reduce pain and discomfort.
Regular follow-up: Regular follow-up visits are needed after surgery so that doctors can understand the recovery and deal with any issues promptly. Follow up and review on time as recommended by your doctor. In conclusion, post-operative precautions are very important for the recovery and health of the body. You should follow your doctor's advice and pay attention to aspects such as dietary modification, infection prevention, pain management, etc., and have regular follow-up visits to ensure a smooth recovery.
