Heart attack does not necessarily require stenting.
Myocardial infarction is mainly caused by acute occlusion of coronary vessels. The main branches of coronary arteries are divided into left anterior descending branch, gyratory branch and right coronary branch. The branches of the anterior descending branch are the diagonal branches, the branches of the rotary branch are the obtuse marginal branches, and the right coronary branch is the posterior descending branch.
If coronary angiography reveals that the main branch is diseased and it is a single vessel, stenting should be performed in time under the guidance of a doctor; if the angiography suggests that the branch is diseased and the diameter of the branch is small, it is recommended that stenting should not be performed.
In addition, if the imaging test suggests a three-branch lesion, coronary artery bypass surgery can be performed under the guidance of the doctor, and stents may not be implanted. However, the patient should take medication such as aspirin on time under the guidance of the doctor, and at the same time carry out cardiac rehabilitation therapy, such as quitting smoking and proper exercise. However, if the condition requires stenting and the patient refuses to have a stent put in, it may have irreversible effects on the heart function. Of course, stenting also has certain risks, and the physician and the patient need to discuss and decide on the treatment plan together.
