Cardiovascular stenting is a modern method for percutaneous coronary intervention. Stents are made of special metal with or without coating depending on the patient's condition. After cardiac stent placement, patients need to pay attention to some issues to ensure their health.

Thromboembolism causing coronary stent occlusion is one of the common risks after stenting. Taking antiplatelet drugs exactly as prescribed by your doctor will minimize this risk.

Coronary stenting is considered as a solution to improve myocardial ischemia due to atherosclerotic plaque causing narrowing of the vessel lumen. Patients with coronary stents, if they receive health care and build a scientific lifestyle, can maintain the effects of coronary stents for 10-15 years.

When advanced atherosclerotic plaque narrows the coronary artery > 70%, the coronary artery is not able to supply oxygen to the myocardium, especially during exercise, exercise or strenuous work. This causes myocardial ischemia with manifestations of angina, fatigue, shortness of breath...

I have coronary artery, one branch, 60%. Nothing happened before and now, but lately, I often have pain in my left chest and my spirit is not as good as before. The EF is 56%. So the doctor asked me if 60% coronary artery stenosis is dangerous?

Coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of death in many countries around the world, including Vietnam. According to cardiologist La Thi Thuy at Vinmec Central Park Hospital, if coronary artery disease is not detected and treated promptly, it can lead to extremely dangerous cardiovascular complications.

Percutaneous coronary intervention is a technique that uses a percutaneous catheter to insert a small balloon into the lumen of a blocked coronary artery and place a stent to re-open the blood flow. Along with the improvement of technology, the development of new coronary stents has helped to solve the stenosis in the coronary arteries, helping to improve myocardial perfusion under all conditions of strenuous activity of the heart. patient.

Coronary artery disease is a disease caused by the accumulation of "fat" (cholesterol) that creates plaque that narrows or blocks one or more arteries. Complete blockage of a coronary artery will lead to a heart attack. At this time, angioplasty and coronary stenting will help treat stenosis or obstruction.

In order to solve the problem of coronary artery blockage, coronary stenting is a very important intervention to help relieve angina pain and treat myocardial infarction. In recent years, self-absorbable stents are being considered as a revolution in percutaneous coronary intervention to help blood vessels be intervened while maintaining their natural function.
