Placing a stent shortens the lifespan. blood clots related,

 

Eat less food after an inactive evening. Avoid bacon, fried food, fatty foods.

-------------------

What are disadvantages of stents?

These may include:

-Allergic reaction to stent material.

-Blood clot formation on the stent.

-Procedure related issues including damage to blood vessels.

-Scar tissue formation around the stent.

-Side effects of medicated coating on the stent.

-CABG may still be necessary in some cases.

-The blood vessel may collapse.

------------------

After inserting the stent,

Survival life is reduced by 50% - 58% (in the long term).

You can only live 60% of your original lifespan.

---------------

how long can a person live after stents?

 

Life expectancy after stent implant;

Probabilities of survival and 95% CI for men and women were, respectively.

 

short-term: 97.3% (97.0-97.6%) and 97.1% (96.6-97.4%),

medium-term: 93.6% (93.2-94.1%) and 93.4% (92.8-94.0%), and

long-term: 55.7% (54.0-57.4%) and 58.1% (55.8-60.3%).

-------------------------

Placing a stent does not solve the problem.

If a blood clot gets stuck in the stent again, it can cause a heart attack.

In other words, if you do not take care of your health, problems will continue to arise even if a stent is inserted.

--------------

Can you have a heart attack after stents?

Blood clots can form within the stent. Risk of getting a blood clot is much higher if you stop taking blood thinners before your provider says to do so.

Blood clots can lead to life-threatening conditions, such as heart attack, stroke, and venous thromboembolism (정맥 혈전색전증).

 

^^note;; what is coronary atherosclerosis,

Coronary artery disease starts when fats, cholesterols and other substances collect on the inner walls of the heart arteries.

This condition is called atherosclerosis. The buildup is called plaque. Plaque can cause the arteries to narrow, blocking blood flow.

------------------

What are the long-term problems of implanted stents?

The bottom line is that since it contains a metal mesh, it interferes with resistance and may cause more blood clots to accumulate.

Therefore, you must take care of your health to prevent blood clots from forming.

 

What are the long term problems with stents?

One is a gradual renarrowing of the area inside the stent, known as restenosis.

The other is the formation of clots inside the stent, called stent thrombosis.

============

What is the biggest risk of a stent procedure?

 

Risks of coronary angioplasty with stent placement may include:

*Re-narrowing of the artery;

Re-narrowing of the artery, also called re-stenosis, is more likely to occur if no stent is used. If the stent is coated with a medicine, there is even less risk of narrowing.

 

- Blood clots. Blood clots can form within stents;

These clots can close the artery, causing a heart attack. Medicines can help reduce the risk of blood clots.

 

- Bleeding or infection;

During the procedure, a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in the arm or leg. Bleeding, bruising or infection may occur where the catheter was inserted.

       -----------

Other Rare Risks of angioplasty include;

- Heart attack;

Heart attacks that cause severe tissue damage or death are rare.

 

- Coronary artery damage;

The coronary artery may be torn or ruptured during coronary angioplasty and stenting.

These complications may require emergency open-heart surgery.

 

- Kidney injury;

The risk is higher when other conditions already affect how well the kidneys work.

 

- Stroke;

During angioplasty, a piece of fatty plaque can break loose, travel to the brain and block blood flow. A stroke is an extremely rare complication of coronary angioplasty. Blood thinners are used during the procedure to reduce the risk.

 

-Irregular heartbeats;

During the procedure, the heart may beat too fast or too slow. These heart rhythm problems may need to be treated with medicine or a temporary pacemaker.

---------------------

Can coughing move a stent?

Your stent is held in place by pressure. When swelling and redness from your procedure lessens, there's a small chance your stent will move. This may lead to sudden coughing or shortness of breath.

Very rarely, you may cough up the stent or a piece of the stent. Sep 21, 2023

--------------

Why do I have to carry a stent card?

It documents the patient's details, the length of time the stent should remain and contact details for the patient to use if they have not received any dates for stent change or removal.

---------------

What are the signs of stent failure?

If you've had angioplasty and stenting, you should call your provider if you experience:

-Chest discomfort (angina), arm pain or shoulder pain.

-Cold sweats.

-Shortness of breath.

-Unexplained fatigue or weakness.

-----------------

What is the best position to sleep after a heart stent?

 

Right side: Some individuals have the habit of sleeping on their stomach, however, after the heart surgery, this posture is not recommended. So instead, you can try sleeping on your side.

But, make sure you only sleep on your right side as sleeping on the left side can cause breathing problems and more chest pain.
