Patient: Description of condition (onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): My mother is 60 years old and has been a hypertensive patient for more than 10 years, with general blood pressure in the range of 160-110. Her blood pressure is currently stable at 85-140. 2011 August 20 episode of coronary heart disease, onset of throat tightness and occasional pain in the side of the neck. The attacks are frequent, and the attacks are frequent when walking up the stairs. The episodes lasted about 30 seconds. The doctor at Liaocheng People’s Hospital first prescribed medicine for 20 days, but the effect was not satisfactory. After the infusion, Danhong injection, the condition has improved, the attack is no longer frequent, walking down the stairs occasionally attack. The seizure time is about 30 seconds a few days ago just did a coronary CT, the doctor recommended stent surgery. The doctor recommended stent surgery, but later said that he could first hospitalize medication for a period of time. I was a bit uneasy. Then I asked my friend, who is a doctor, to suggest that we go to a Beijing hospital for expert guidance. Please help me to see if my mother needs to have a stent and how many stents she needs. Is there any hope for recovery with medication and is it harmful to the body to do stents? Huang Hui, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University Huang Hui, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Affiliated Hospital of Ningxia Medical College: Hello, I unintentionally surfed the Internet today and saw the information you uploaded. Your mother’s symptoms are typical of exertional angina with poor exercise tolerance. From the CT film, we can see that there is severe stenosis in the middle segment of the right coronary, a diffuse long lesion in the middle segment of the anterior descending branch with the degree of stenosis to be determined, and severe stenosis in its branch-diagonal branch. Therefore, the diagnosis is coronary artery disease with unstable angina. It is necessary to intensify the medication for coronary artery disease, mainly oral medication, and on this basis, I suggest you to mobilize your mother to receive “coronary intervention” in hospital as soon as possible. The specific procedure can only be decided after coronary angiography, but it is recommended to take active treatment measures. Stenting has been performed for nearly 30 years and is well established and clinically recognized by patients and physicians for its efficacy. Of course, there are complications associated with any treatment, which are far less likely to occur and to a much lesser extent than their therapeutic effects. Please take the appropriate treatment measures according to the patient and the local medical situation.
