Cardiac stents do not grow into the flesh.
Cardiac stents are mainly used in the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease, in which the narrowing and occlusion of coronary arteries leads to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, which causes symptoms such as chest tightness and chest pain, and even threatens the patient’s life in serious cases.
By implanting stents into the blood vessels, the occluded blood vessels can be effectively expanded and opened, so that the blood supply to the heart muscle can be improved. However, stents are usually placed in the lumen of the blood vessel and are usually made of metal, which does not grow on its own, so they will not grow into the flesh.
In addition, patients with coronary artery disease who have stents placed need to maintain good living habits, quit smoking and drinking, and take medication on time in order to effectively improve their quality of life.
