It is true that heart bypass can prolong life, but if a heart stent can be installed, how much impact will it have on people's lives?

With the progress of science and technology and the development of medicine, heart disease is no longer a fatal disease. Cardiac bypass that requires thoracotomy can not only prolong the life span, but also effectively solve the partial blockage of coronary artery and dredge the blood vessels of cardiac artery by minimally invasive surgery. How much impact can the installable heart stent have on people's lives? Let's get to know each other.

First, let's learn what a heart stent is. Cardiac stent is a commonly used medical instrument in cardiac interventional surgery, which has the function of dredging arterial blood vessels. The main materials are stainless steel, nickel-titanium alloy or cobalt-chromium alloy. When the coronary artery of human heart is partially blocked and blood flow is still visible, in order to increase blood flow and velocity, a heart stent can be used to ensure normal blood supply to the heart and relieve discomfort. The use method of heart stent is to send the heart stent into and support it at the dilated artery stenosis through minimally invasive surgery.

After cardiac stent intervention, long-term medication is needed. After all, the heart stent is implanted with foreign bodies, and rejection should be avoided. In addition, blood is prone to thrombosis where there are foreign bodies, and it needs to be antithrombotic after being placed in a heart stent. Therefore, it is essential to take medicine after cardiac stent intervention. If you don't take medicine, there is a great possibility of restenosis, and it is very likely to be restenosis after one or two years.

After cardiac stent intervention, you need to change your eating habits. Because the cause of coronary heart disease is unreasonable diet structure, I usually eat too much greasy food. After cardiac stent intervention, we must adhere to proper physical exercise, pay attention to healthy diet, and quit smoking and drinking, so as to effectively prevent thrombosis recurrence.

Finally, after cardiac stent intervention, don't carry heavy objects or do strenuous activities to avoid stent falling off. I hope the above will help you.
