The reason is simple: the disease has not disappeared and still needs to be controlled with medication! A stent can only make the danger go away temporarily, but it can still recur in the future! We often say that “stenting is a first aid measure, not a treatment measure” because it can only artificially open up the narrowed and occluded blood vessels, but it does not improve the cause of coronary artery stenosis in any way, so that, as time passes, other less stenotic blood vessels will become more and more serious, and eventually the degree of stenosis will become higher, affecting the blood circulation and resulting in symptoms such as chest pain, chest tightness, panic and so on. Symptoms such as chest pain, chest tightness, and panic attacks may occur. Can I take medication after stenting to avoid recurrence? This is the expectation of many people, but nine times out of ten, things don’t go as planned. I am sorry to say that “even if you take your medication regularly every day, you may still experience restenosis in the future, or you may have a second, third, or fourth stent. The development of the disease, delay the speed of deterioration, so that it is also disguised as a prolongation of the length of life, for coronary heart disease such as chronic diseases, which in a sense, is also considered an effective treatment, in the clinic, this is one of the most common and simple therapeutic measures. Still take or not take nitrate drugs? Eat no nitrate drugs is not absolute, should be eaten when still need to eat! In clinical practice, nitrate drugs are mainly used in first aid, although they can also be taken for a long time, but it is easy to develop drug resistance, so I generally do not recommend long-term use, and stenting is not the same as a once-and-for-all cure, with the passage of time may still be stenosis, then the blood flow will be affected again, sudden angina pectoris, which is when the patient needs to be through the nitrate drugs for rapid expansion of blood vessels, alleviate the symptoms. The patient then needs rapid expansion of blood vessels by nitrate drugs to relieve the symptoms. In fact, we are too much of a myth about the stent, the stent is only a first aid measure, from the overall treatment, before and after the stent of the patient’s daily life does not have any change, the medicine to take medicine, the smoking cessation to quit smoking, the standardized diet standardized diet, the stent after the normal is only a kind of illusion, the condition is still continue to develop, so we need to continue to take medication to control.
