Some time ago, we treated a patient with myocardial infarction who agreed to undergo interventional treatment after repeated consideration. After repeated thrombus aspiration and balloon dilation, the operation was completed. The good thing is that the patient’s myocardial infarction was probably caused by the rupture of a lesion that was not severely stenosed and formed a thrombus, and eventually the blood flow was restored well and there was no obvious lesion at the original occlusion. Although no stent was eventually placed, the prognosis should be good with regular drug therapy. After careful questioning, the patient “explained” the reason for refusing the stent, believing that the stent would affect the labor force, “I am a farmer, the whole family’s life depends on me, if I can’t work, the whole family will have to starve.” Later, when talking with other doctors, I found that this kind of thinking is not very uncommon. Therefore, we would like to clarify one point with our patients: proper stenting will not lose the ability to work, but will increase the ability to work and improve the quality of life due to the improvement of myocardial ischemia and the relief of angina symptoms. Patients who do not regain their work capacity after stenting are often suffering from severe disease, not from stenting.
