Stenting is possible for 80 year olds who are in good physical condition and whose condition requires it.
The main purpose of stent implantation is to dilate the lumen, clinically, it is mainly used for all kinds of lumen narrowing, such as coronary artery stenosis, carotid artery stenosis, esophageal stenosis, etc. As long as the 80 year old is in good physical condition, the coagulation function is not a problem, and there is a corresponding condition, stent implantation can be done, but after the operation, we need to pay attention to the close monitoring of all the indicators of the body’s changes.
After the stent implantation surgery, we need to closely observe the recovery of symptoms, and some patients need to use aspirin for a long time, which should be standardized under the guidance of the clinician.
After the operation, you should follow the doctor’s instructions for medication and life, and you need to contact the attending physician in time if there is any displacement of the stent, bleeding in the operation area, and so on.
