How long to return to work after stenting

Stenting mostly refers to stent implantation, which is applicable to patients with coronary heart disease and esophageal-tracheal fistula caused by malignant tumors, and the following is mainly an example of cardiac stenting. Generally speaking, patients can return to normal work in about 3-6 months after stenting. The specific situation is related to the patient’s age, physical fitness and the severity of the disease, which is analyzed as follows: If the patient is around 20 years old, in good physical condition and the stent is implanted because of angina pectoris, the recovery will be faster, and he/she can usually return to normal work in 3 months. However, if the patient is over 50 years old and has underlying diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc., and the stent is implanted because of acute myocardial infarction, the recovery will be quicker. However, if the patient is over 50 years old and has underlying diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc., and the stent was implanted because of acute myocardial infarction, the recovery time is longer, and the cardiac myocytes need to be fully rested and functionally recovered before going to work, and it may take 3 months to half a year. The specific time to go to work depends on the patient’s condition and postoperative recovery, the specific need to refer to the attending physician’s opinion.
