Patient's question:
Six months ago, I had a stent surgery, and now one-third of the stent part is blocked. Seeking the best surgical treatment plan. In need of help: Myocardial infarction seeks the best surgical treatment plan.Doctor's answer:
The patient currently only needs follow-up tests, as the stent area is not severely blocked and does not require treatment. The patient should undergo follow-up tests at irregular intervals, which should be sufficient. Currently, surgical treatment is not necessary. If the stent becomes blocked by more than 80%, then further stent placement should be considered. Within 12 hours of the onset of symptoms, restoring blood flow in an inconveniently accessible coronary artery can enlarge the area of myocardial infarction and increase the risk of death.
