After coronary heart stent implantation, the risk of sudden death is very small, but patients are required to follow the doctor’s instructions for regular oral medication and regular check-ups at the hospital.
Because after coronary stent implantation, the patient’s previously narrowed or occluded coronary arteries are able to restore blood flow, the blood supply to the heart has been restored, however, this is not once and for all, and does not indicate that the patient’s coronary heart disease has been cured.
In order to prevent the re-formation of thrombus in the stent or the recurrence of myocardial infarction, it is necessary to take long-term oral anti-platelet aggregation, lipid stabilization and other drugs under the guidance of the doctor, such as aspirin, clopidogrel, atorvastatin and other drugs, and need to quit smoking and drinking.
At the same time, it is necessary to go to the hospital regularly to review the electrocardiogram, coronary CTA, coronary angiography and so on.
If symptoms such as chest discomfort occur, it is recommended to consult the hospital for further treatment.
