Some patients with coronary heart disease have had their heart stents surgically placed. How many years can a heart stent be used?

At present, the incidence of coronary heart disease in China is increasing year by year. When coronary heart disease develops to a more serious degree, it needs to be treated by surgical implantation of cardiac stent. Of course, many people are also worried about the service life of this kind of heart stent. After all, an operation is a struggle with death, and no one wants to have a second operation. However, the current medical equipment is very good, and the service life of heart stent will increase with the improvement of medical equipment, so when doing coronary heart disease surgery, you must go to a regular hospital to choose a better quality heart stent.

Generally speaking, the service life of domestic cardiac stents is 10~20 years. The main function of cardiac stent is to open narrow blood vessels and let the patient's blood flow normally. And if it is this kind of heart stent with medicine, it will last longer. However, cardiac stent only removes some local diseases on the body, and can not achieve the degree of containment of systemic arteriosclerosis. Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease must be carefully nursed back to health after cardiac stenting, because the recurrence rate of this disease is still quite high.

Moreover, the service life of the heart stent mainly depends on whether the thrombus in the stent has formed again. Under normal circumstances, the heart stent will not fail. Therefore, postoperative patients must come to the hospital for regular review. In case of discomfort in life, you must do another angiography. Of course, if you want to prevent and reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease, you should also pay great attention to diet and work and rest in your daily life.

According to research, the higher the cholesterol, the easier it is for people to get this cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Usually, the diet must be light, do not eat some animal viscera or other foods with high fat content, and ensure good work and rest habits, go to bed early and get up early, and exercise regularly to improve your immunity and resistance. Only by developing good habits can we reduce the probability of disease recurrence.
