There is no authoritative information to show how many years the heart can live after stenting. If the treatment is strictly adhered to the doctor’s prescription and regular review, the life expectancy is generally not affected. However, the prognosis of patients after cardiac stent implantation is related to the area of myocardial necrosis, coronary artery lesions, drug use, revascularization, underlying diseases, diet and life, which have a greater impact on life expectancy.
1. Myocardial necrosis area: the larger the area of myocardial necrosis, the greater the possibility of ischemic cardiomyopathy and heart failure, and once heart failure and other complications occur, the survival rate of the patient may be reduced.
2. Coronary artery lesions and drug use: when the patient has more lesions, cardiac stenting can not solve all the diseased blood vessels, if the patient does not standardize the use of aspirin and other medications, it will also increase the risk of cardiovascular events and reduce the survival rate.
3. Revascularization: If endothelialization is incomplete after stenting of diseased vessels, restenosis may occur, increasing the risk of cardiovascular events.
4. Underlying diseases: If the patient has more underlying diseases, such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, carotid atherosclerosis and other diseases, it will also affect the survival rate of the patient.
5. Diet and life: If patients do not control their diet and life, such as consuming too much oily and salty food, long-term smoking, alcohol abuse, sedentary lifestyle, etc., it will still increase the risk of cardiovascular events, affecting the quality of survival and survival time.
Therefore, the number of years one can live after cardiac stent implantation needs to be assessed individually. In order to prolong the survival time, the use of medication should be standardized as prescribed by the doctor, and high-risk factors should be actively controlled to avoid re-stenosis of blood vessels and serious complications such as infarction, which will reduce the survival rate. If there is any discomfort, the prognosis can be maximized by actively seeking medical treatment.
