Treatment of coronary artery calcification

Currently, the main clinical treatments for coronary artery calcification include interventional therapy and the use of statins. 1. Interventional therapy usually refers to the implantation of a cardiac stent at the site of arterial calcification, and there are usually two ways to do this: coronary artery rotary milling and simple balloon expansion. It is usually used to treat patients with a coronary artery lesion of >75%, or in the case of the main artery, a lesion of >50%. Contraindicated in patients with severe heart failure, systemic infection, and severe hepatic or renal insufficiency. Adverse reactions include postoperative hematoma at the puncture site, pericardial compression. 2. Statins may stabilize atherosclerotic plaques by reducing lipid and necrotic material deposition and promoting calcification of the necrotic core. Intensive therapy with statins may reduce plaque volume. All of the above are the most important clinical treatments for coronary artery calcification, and patients can listen to the advice of professional doctors to choose the most appropriate treatment plan.
