How long can you live without a stent at 85 years old with a blocked cardiovascular system?



Stent intervention is an important tool for cardiovascular blockage, and survival time depends on the cardiovascular blockage and the underlying condition of the patient.

If a blockage in the main trunk of the coronary artery, also known as the main branch of the coronary artery, causes an infarction, there is a risk of cardiac arrest and sudden death if stenting or other revascularization therapy is not performed within the treatment window.

If the coronary artery blockage causes unstable angina, intermediate and high-risk patients who do not undergo stent implantation have the risk of infarction and death, which will affect the patient’s survival time.

For patients with stable angina due to cardiovascular blockage, if there is no myocardial ischemia, stent implantation can be suspended, oral medication, regular follow-up, and the stable condition generally does not affect the natural life expectancy.

In addition, the survival time of patients with cardiovascular blockage is also related to the age, whether combined with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation and other underlying diseases, and it is recommended that reasonable treatment under the guidance of specialized physicians.
