Plaque detachment when the heart has a stent should refer to the detachment of plaque that occurs during cardiac interventions, and its treatment is chosen based on the nature of the plaque. Smaller plaque detachments can be treated without treatment, while larger plaque detachments can be treated with medication.
During stenting, if the plaque is small and few in number, the impact on some important organs and blood vessels is relatively small, and if there are no obvious symptoms, it can be left untreated for temporary observation and regular checkups.
If the dislodged plaque is relatively small but in large quantity during stenting, it may block the distal vessels of the lesion, and the phenomenon of no-reflow may also occur in some people, increasing the damage to cardiomyocytes. In this case, vasodilator drugs such as sodium nitroprusside can be used to treat the salvage.
If plaque dislodgement occurs during cardiac intervention, the nature of the plaque needs to be clarified to determine whether it will cause further damage before choosing the appropriate treatment.
