Can aging blood vessels be restored?

Vascular aging cannot be reversed, i.e., it cannot be recovered, but further aging can be avoided through changes in lifestyle habits and oral medications can be taken to reduce the progression of vascular aging. If necessary, surgical treatment is needed to open the blood vessels so that the distal tissues can be effectively supplied with blood, which can reduce the patient’s symptoms and enable the patient to recover in a short period of time. However, after surgery, it is still necessary to make lifestyle changes and adhere to a good lifestyle, as well as give medications and exercise to be able to reduce the further development of vascular aging and avoid recurrence of the disease. Specific lifestyle changes include quitting smoking and drinking, not staying up late, maintaining a good mood, eating a light, well-digested diet, not eating too much, doing some aerobic exercise, and taking oral medications such as aspirin and statins, such as simvastatin and rasulvastatin.
