"Girl, the doctor suggested me a stent just now, why did you pull me away?"
"The stent has been exposed on the Internet, it's a deceptive thing, this doctor still asked you to do it, he must want to trick us."
I don't know when the heart stent (coronary stent implantation surgery) has become a harmful thing, the Internet is full of all kinds of negative remarks, today it is said that the doctor of such and such a hospital abused the stent, and tomorrow it is said that the patient of such and such a patient pressed seven or eight stents, these remarks are not necessarily false, but under the deliberate description of some people, they have become an "accomplice" in discrediting the heart stent.
Cardiac stents do have abuse!
Stent abuse is and has been in the past.
I won't talk about it before, I understand everything, and now, from November 2020 to the present, cardiac stents have been collected for more than a year, and the country has pulled the stents of 10,000 or 20,000 to three digits, which has indeed curbed the abuse of stents to a certain extent.
The original "everyone can afford to use stents" seems to have been realized, but the reality has slapped many people, my teacher Professor Hu Dayi (the father of Chinese heart stents) said: "Centralized procurement can control prices, but it still can't solve excessive medical treatment".
The price of the bracket has indeed come down, but the other costs have gone up.
Vascular ultrasound, blood flow ratio, infrared observation and other assessment methods are expensive and cannot be done without them, without which it may not be possible to implant a stent "accurately". According to the data given by the National Joint Procurement Office, the number of stent surgeries after centralized procurement has increased by 54% compared with before
Myth 1: The stent is harmful to people, and it can't be done!
Some stent abuse cannot be denied, but this is only the personal behavior of some doctors, which not only cannot radiate to the entire medical circle, but also cannot distort the value of stent surgery.
Cardiac stent is a first-aid measure, for some patients with high blood vessel blockage, severe myocardial ischemia, and sudden acute myocardial infarction, stent is their first choice, because there is a relatively large risk of death without stenting, and stent surgery can temporarily dilate blood vessels, although there will be a risk of recurrence in the future, but at least he can survive, which is the most important.
Myth 2: Bracket is a technology that has been eliminated abroad!
United States population is only 300 million, while the mainland has a population of 1.3 billion, but the number of stent surgeries in China far exceeds that of the mainland, with more than 1 million cases per year, while the number of cardiac stent surgeries in the mainland is more than 800,000. And with the continuous development and progress of science and technology, stents are also constantly updated, drug-eluting stents, degradable stents, etc., if it is really about to be eliminated, will so many people study and update?
The emergence of this rumor stems from an age-old controversy, since more than 10 years ago, there have been many debates about cardiac stents, and the main controversy is whether asymptomatic patients need stents, but no one has ever dared to deny the first-aid role of stents.
Myth 3: The bracket is useless, what should it be!
Many people attack cardiac stents, mainly because patients still have abnormalities after stenting, and they will be stent again in the future.
But as I said above, the stent itself is only a first aid measure, it is life-saving, not a treatment.
Cardiac stent surgery can open the blocked blood vessels of the patient in a very short time, restore the blood supply to the myocardium, and play a role in relieving symptoms and stabilizing the condition.
However, there is never only one blood vessel blockage in the patient, and over time, the stent can solve the most serious part of the blockage, but the patient itself has multiple high-risk factors, and the blood circulation is still not comparable with ordinary people, so there will be corresponding symptoms, and the follow-up must insist on taking relevant drugs.
PS: Don't listen to Internet rumors, fear of stents, rejection of stents, for patients with coronary heart disease, coronary stent implantation surgery is a surgical term that must be understood, because none of us can predict the future, once the condition is not controlled, sudden acute myocardial infarction, then stent surgery must be performed immediately to restore blood vessels, otherwise the risk of death is extremely high, remember to remember.
