If hyperplasia occurs after cardiac stenting, the patient should go to the hospital in time and use medication and surgery under the doctor’s guidance, and should develop good daily habits.
If hyperplasia occurs on the inner wall of the blood vessel at the location of the stent, it may be due to the fact that the disease is not well controlled, such as blood pressure, blood lipid, blood sugar is not well controlled, the patient does not follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication, and the patient’s daily life habits are not good, such as smoking, drinking, etc., therefore, the stent is prone to endothelial hyperplasia plaques, and the stent will restenosis occurs.
It is recommended that patients take low-fat diet as the main, avoid eating too greasy food, so as not to cause cholesterol rise and jeopardize the coronary artery, avoid smoking, drinking, can be appropriate physical exercise, which will help blood circulation.
Patients can also use anti-platelet aggregation drugs (e.g. aspirin, clopidogrel, etc.) and statin lipid regulating drugs (e.g. simvastatin, lovastatin, etc.), which can help stabilize plaques and reduce endothelial hyperplasia. Patients may also require re-intervention, also known as cardiac stenting.
Re-occurrence of hyperplasia after cardiac stenting should be seen promptly to avoid delay.
