Experts oppose the "gold standard" of stent use. When do I need to use a heart stent?

I believe many people know that heart disease is very harmful, which will not only affect the health of patients, but also bring troubles to daily life. Heart disease is also one of the diseases that many elderly people are prone to. Many elderly people are deeply troubled by heart disease, so patients with heart disease need surgery according to the severity of their illness, and some patients need heart stent surgery, which is well known to many people.

Many people think that cardiac stent surgery will be good, and some patients and their families think that cardiac stent surgery can be used for treatment as long as the heart disease is serious. These ideas are wrong. Cardiac stent surgery is not that simple, and the requirements of cardiac stent are different. The first condition is that the patient's blood vessel diameter must reach at least 2.25 mm before cardiac stent surgery can be performed. If the blood vessels are smaller than this diameter, the effect of heart stent surgery is not obvious, and doctors will not recommend patients to have heart stent surgery.

The second condition is that only when the patient's vascular stenosis is at least 80% or higher will the doctor recommend heart stent surgery. In other words, if the patient's blood vessels are blocked by at least 80%, heart stent surgery must be performed. The third condition is that patients with angina pectoris or myocardial infarction will undergo cardiac stent surgery, because cardiac stent surgery is specifically aimed at such patients.

It can be seen from the above three situations that cardiac stenting is not suitable for all patients with heart disease, and the number of stents to be placed during cardiac stenting needs to be determined according to the patient's situation. After cardiac stenting, many people think that heart disease has been effectively treated, mistakenly thinking that this is equivalent to insuring the heart. Never have to worry about a heart attack again. This idea is very wrong. There are not enough cardiac stents, and there are many after surgery. Mission? Do it, so don't blindly believe that heart stents are omnipotent.
