How should atherosclerosis occlusive disease be treated?

  How should atherosclerosis occlusive disease be treated? This issue is not only related to the prognosis of patients with atherosclerosis-occlusive disease, but also related to the physical and mental health of patients, and also involves the normal life of patients, and the economic and living of patients’ families and a series of social problems. Therefore, if a patient has atherosclerosis occlusive disease, whether he or she can seek medical treatment in the fastest time, whether he or she can get the right treatment plan, and whether he or she can get effective treatment in the shortest time is one of the primary concerns of every atherosclerosis occlusive disease patient.  In order to reduce the initial confusion and blindness of patients with arteriosclerosis occlusive disease, combined with the problems often encountered in clinical treatment, the following points are summarized in order to help patients with arteriosclerosis occlusive disease to seek medical treatment.  1, the preferred combination of Chinese and Western medicine drug conservative treatment: atherosclerosis occlusive disease: is a systemic disease, once the disease, meaning that the vast majority of patients are accompanied by varying degrees of narrowing or occlusion of the heart, brain, kidney and other arteries, and a reasonable first choice of Chinese and Western medicine with conservative treatment, is a systemic vascular benefit of the treatment method, and the long-term effect is one of its characteristics.  Combination of Chinese and Western medicine with drug treatment is identified for the etiology and pathology. If it is a simple iliac artery lesion, surgery or interventional treatment can be recommended first, but the vast majority of patients with atherosclerosis-occlusive disease have stenosis or occlusion in multiple sites, so the combination of Chinese and Western medicine is a reasonable choice for more patients. Even if surgery or intervention fails, patients facing amputation should actively cooperate and adopt reasonable treatment plans, and most patients have the hope of preserving their limbs.  2.Adherence to statin lipid-lowering drugs: Once diagnosed with atherosclerosis-occlusive disease, patients need to take statin lipid-lowering drugs for life. This view has reached a consensus in the Sino-European Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Expert Seminar. Such medication is not only beneficial for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, but also for the prevention and treatment of cardiac, cerebral and renal atherosclerosis. The application of combined statin lipid-lowering drugs in clinical treatment is one of the best options to prevent the expansion of atherosclerosis and reduce the soft atherosclerosis (inflammatory).  3.Cautious and reasonable choice of surgical intervention: the biggest advantage of surgical intervention is the immediate effect and quick effect, but the shortcoming is the limited scope of adaptation. The 5-year recanalization rate after surgery for simple iliac artery stenosis or occlusion is about 75%, while if the superficial femoral artery or N artery is stenosed or occluded, the surgical treatment is less effective, with a 5-year recanalization rate of less than 40%. If the surgery fails and the artificial vessel or lower limb artery is acutely thrombosed, the patient is at risk of amputation.  4, must strictly quit smoking: whether patients with atherosclerosis occlusive disease, or vasculitis, aortitis, has been diagnosed must completely quit smoking, to inform patients, 1 cigarette a day and 20 cigarettes a day on the vascular damage is not much difference, “to smoke don’t want legs, legs don’t want cigarettes”, this is already an indisputable objective fact in the clinic, is a lot of Arterial vascular disease patients with their own irrational in exchange for the painful lessons.
