In-stent restenosis often occurs within 6 to 9 months after the procedure with a probability of 5% to 10%, and in-stent thrombosis is about 1%. This cardiovascular event can be life-threatening.
The purpose of the procedure is to remove the coronary artery stenosis, restore normal perfusion to the heart, restore oxygen and nutrient supply to the cardiomyocytes, and ensure that the cardiomyocytes are working normally, but it does not have the effect of improving the prognosis.
After stenting, life-threatening cardiovascular events such as in-stent restenosis and in-stent thrombosis can still occur. A full course of antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. A low-salt and low-fat diet, avoiding overeating and strenuous exercise, should be adopted in order to achieve a good prognosis.
The situation varies from person to person. After the operation, the patient should follow the doctor’s instructions to take medication and have regular checkups, and the life expectancy will not be affected if the patient recovers well.
