Hello!
The doctor would like to answer the question: Should the coronary artery stent be placed in the right brain and heart vascular accident and kidney failure? ” as follows:
According to the information you provided, the doctor noticed: Your mother has two major problems: cerebrovascular disease (cerebral infarction), coronary artery disease (unknown extent of damage). injury - stenosis). However, the underlying disease is quite complicated: kidney failure, hypertension, diabetes, old age (82 years old). This is a very difficult clinical situation for any treating physician.
Usually, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the patient, weighing the benefits and risks of stenting. Only perform coronary stenting if there is benefit to the patient. It is difficult to have a specific advice for you to make an optimal choice when the doctor does not have enough information about your mother's medical condition. Our advice to you is: Talk directly to the treating doctor and listen to their advice.
If you still have questions about this, you can take your mother to the Vinmec Health System Hospital for a more thorough examination and consultation by doctors. Thank you for sending your question to Vinmec, wish you all the best.
