Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Yuan Geng. Whether to put a stent or not is a very important basis for judging whether there are obvious symptoms and whether there is evidence of myocardial infarction.
If we want to understand how to judge, first of all, we need to know a term called compensation, compensation is an adaptive mechanism of our body, when the heart blood vessels have the problem of narrowing and insufficient blood supply, some other important parts of our body will use some other blood vessels as compensation to supply blood, such as some collateral circulation next to the main line.
For example, if you have a blood vessel that is very narrow, but there is a collateral circulation next to it to compensate for it, and your body does not have any abnormal symptoms, it means that your compensatory ability is relatively strong, and you already have the adaptive mechanism to deal with stenosis, and the distal myocardium is not ischemia, so it will not cause serious myocardial infarction and other problems.
If you have obvious symptoms, such as angina pectoris that lasts for more than 30 minutes, this can be considered obvious evidence of myocardial infarction, and you need to have a stent. But Dr. Yuan wants to remind everyone, don't rely too much on the stent, it is a foreign body after all, don't have a stenosis, just make a stent, the core of this problem is that there is a problem with the function of your viscera, and the blood vessels are not so healthy.
Once the underlying problem is solved, your scaffolding will only get more and more.
