Stenting surgery for coronary artery disease is the best combination of Chinese and Western medicine!

  Stent surgery for coronary heart disease is becoming more and more popular. Nowadays, stenting is not the same as it was 20 years ago, and all major hospitals have been performing it for many years, and the technology is quite mature. Of course, at present, the most stent surgery is done in Fuwai and Anzhen hospitals.  However, Dongzhimen Hospital uses a combination of stenting and traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat coronary heart disease, which is a perfect combination of modern and traditional.  The interventional team of the Cardiology Department of Dongzhimen Hospital is strong, and the director and deputy director operate personally to ensure the safety of the operation, and the combination of stenting with Chinese herbal medicine after the operation can significantly improve the efficacy of the treatment and the subjective symptoms of the patients.  In western hospitals, generally after stenting, patients are only given such western drugs as aspirin and Polivic and opposed to taking Chinese medicine.  However, we found that after the stent was put in many patients, the feeling of chest tightness, chest pain, panic, shortness of breath and back discomfort still would not disappear. The explanation of western medicine is generally that: the stent can only solve the large blood vessels, and the small blood vessels cannot be put in the stent. However, according to the theory of TCM, the patient’s physique is qi stagnation and blood stasis, and even after stenting, the blood stasis physique still remains unchanged. Therefore, stenting can significantly improve the patient’s symptoms by solving the stenosis of large vessels and then combining with TCM to regulate, move qi and activate blood, etc. This is the biggest advantage of combining Chinese and Western medicine compared with Western medicine and western medicine treatment alone.
