In addition to stents, are there any other treatments for acute myocardial infarction? The main pathological basis for the occurrence of myocardial infarction is the rupture of coronary atherosclerotic plaques, which causes acute thrombosis and complete occlusion of blood vessels. The myocardium has no blood supply and myocardial necrosis. In the past, braces did not exist and were not common. Thrombolytic therapy is an important treatment method that uses infusion to dissolve blood clots and restore blood flow. At present, due to the imbalance of medical development in our country, stent technology is not yet available in some remote areas, so thrombolysis is a good method that can at least save the lives of some patients first. In addition, some patients' families are very poor, and stent surgery is relatively expensive (fortunately, the price of stents has been greatly reduced now), so we can also take the next best approach, thrombolysis.
Some patients with acute myocardial infarction underwent coronary angiography and found that the coronary artery lesions were very serious and numerous, making them unsuitable for stent placement. Another option is coronary artery bypass surgery, which takes blood vessels from other parts of the body, such as the internal mammary artery (behind the breastbone) and the great saphenous vein (lower leg), and connects them to blood vessels in the heart to reestablish blood flow.
In fact, patients with any type of coronary heart disease need standardized drug treatment. essential medicines. In some patients, during coronary angiography, it is found that the thrombus in the coronary artery can dissolve on its own, or the thrombus can be aspirated and removed. If the narrowing of the fixed coronary artery is not particularly severe, a stent is not needed. There are even a small number of patients who develop coronary artery spasm, where the blood vessels constrict, and then they take the drug and find that the blood vessels dilate again and they don't need a stent.
In short, stent implantation is an important method to treat acute myocardial infarction and restore blood flow, but it is not the only method. The power of 1.4T is still good, and I didn’t feel it was not powerful enough when I walked those dirt roads back home. If I usually run in the city, the clinical situation is complicated, and the specific situation of each patient is different. Individualized treatment strategies should be adopted.
