2018 Ischemia Stent

The logic of stenting obstructed coronary arteries is simple. A stent unblocks the artery. Subscribe now Stenting stable coronary artery disease has not been convincingly proven to reduce the risk of future heart attacks or death 1. But coronary stenting is not the only way to reduce symptoms of angina. All is fixed.

One of the most common questions I get is, “ Do I need a stent to treat my heart disease?” ” Typically, several of this person’s friends have had stents, so it seems natural to ask. First, we must understand what a stent is and why it is used. The stent ‘unblocks’ it. Flow is restored.

Diseased human arteries are most simply, reliably, and successfully treated with drug-eluting, balloon-expandable stents," said Lewis B. 2 An estimated 10% of patients with PAOD have its most severe form: chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).

In some cases the ischemia can be seen "through" the flutter waves, whereas in other cases the arrhythmia must be terminated before the ischemia can be clearly distinguished. First , there can simply be diffuse ST depressions (which obligates reciprocal STE in aVR) associated with tachycardia which are not indicative of ischemia.

ECG#1 Assessing ischemia on an ECG with wide QRS complexes (AIVR, ventricular pacing, BBB, etc) can be challenging. Many health care providers will simply not attempt to assess ischemia in the presence of a wide QRS. In the ECG above there are several features indicative of ongoing transmural ischemia. What do you think?

Here is the EMS ECG: Obviously massive diffuse subendocardial ischemia, with profound STD and STE in aVR Of course this pattern is most often seen from etoliogies other than ACS. The ECG only tells you there is ischemia, not the etiology of it. Nevertheless, the clinical situation made other etiologies unlikely.

Method Between June 2018 and December 2022, 62 patients with type A aortic dissection (TAAD) underwent reoperation after previous surgical treatment. Outcome In the EVAR group, 47 patients (95.92%) were successfully implanted with overlapping stents, and 2 patients died in the perioperative period.
