Vascular blockage is a serious health problem:
Cardiac blood vessels are blocked, namely coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. Cerebrovascular blockage is stroke. Blood vessels in limbs are blocked, which will lead to limb ischemia, necrosis and even amputation.
Depending on the blockage of blood vessels, doctors usually carry out treatment such as drugs, stents or surgery. These treatments are not 100% perfect, so some [perfect] blood vessel dredging [new technologies] or [secret recipes] are often circulated among the people.
But is [dredging blood vessels] really that easy? Don’t you need to install the bracket? In order to explain these problems clearly, Dr. Clove invited a cardiologist.
Does the [new technology] in the video really exist?
The technology in the video is [thromboaspiration], but it is not a new technology in what.
Thrombus aspiration is one of the common operations used by cardiologists in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, which has a history of at least several decades in Europe and America.
Moreover, thromboembolization is not suitable for all patients with vascular blockage and cannot play a therapeutic role in some cases.
After the blockage is sucked away, there is no need to install a bracket?
First of all, we must understand that there are two kinds of sediments that block blood vessels:
- Thrombosis: Like [fresh blood is vigorous], it is soft and easy to remove. Vascular plaque: Like [scale] in water pipes, it is hard and integrated with blood vessels, which is not easy to remove. At the same time, plaque can also make blood vessels rough and form thrombus more easily.
It is thrombus that is aspirated in the video. If the patient’s blood vessels are as smooth and unobstructed as in the video, there is really no need to put stents.
But the reality is:
Almost all people with coronary heart disease and acute myocardial infarction have plaque and narrowing blood vessels, which are not as healthy as in the video.
In this case, if only the thrombus is aspirated, the fundamental problem cannot be solved. Narrow and rough blood vessels cannot pass through enough blood, and may form thrombus again, completely blocking the blood vessels and causing acute myocardial infarction.
Therefore, most patients with myocardial infarction need to install vascular stents to spread the diseased blood vessels so that sufficient blood can pass through.
However, the latest research also found that very few people can not put stents.
Is how’s Reliable [Vascular] Therapy?
Reliable [vascular] treatment should first be individualized, such as:
- Mild stenosis of blood vessels: In order to avoid further stenosis and sudden myocardial infarction, we need a healthy lifestyle, aspirin, lipid-lowering drugs, etc. Severe vascular stenosis: In order to avoid sudden myocardial infarction and lead to death, we often need to place stents in narrow places. Completely blocked: immediate surgery, interventional stent placement or bypass of another blood vessel to restore blood supply to the heart.
In a word, the formal [vascular] method needs to consider various situations such as the degree of vascular stenosis, which is not as simple as imagined.
Do a good job in prevention and nourish blood vessels.
Drugs, stenting and bypass surgery are all effective [vascular] tricks, but I hope everyone can nip in the bud and pay attention to vascular health in daily life.
1. Control [Three Highs]
Hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia will all cause damage to blood vessels. Friends with [three highs] must control blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid within the target range.
Step 2 Quit smoking
Smoking can damage vascular endothelium, make blood in a hypercoagulable state, increase oxidation of low density lipoprotein, and increase the risk of plaque.
3. Low-salt, low-fat diet
Ensure a low-salt and low-fat diet: eat less saturated fatty acids and animal fats, such as animal oil and animal viscera; Eat less salt and ensure that salt does not exceed 6 g per day, i.e. A bottle cap.
4. Regular physical examination is required if you are not ill.
Even friends who do not have diseases should have regular physical examination of blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipid, cervical vertebra artery B-ultrasound, etc. to understand the health status of blood vessels so as to find and treat them early.
