Stenosis of the left main opening of the heart can be treated with medication and surgery.
The left main stem stenosis of the heart should be routinely given drug treatment, the basic drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel, atorvastatin and other drugs, should also be given isosorbide nitrate to dilate the coronary artery treatment. Patients with significant symptoms of chest tightness, chest pain, and palpitations should routinely undergo coronary angiography to understand the severity of coronary artery stenosis.
Patients with severe left main opening stenosis are at high risk of sudden death, and some of them can be treated surgically, such as with stent implantation. For high-risk patients, the risk of stent implantation is higher, and coronary artery bypass grafting can be performed to increase the blood supply to the coronary arteries.
Patients with stenosis of the left main opening must be treated aggressively under the supervision of a physician to reduce the patient’s risk of sudden death and improve the blood supply to the heart.
