Falling behind at the start, the first surgery shocked the world.

The left anterior descending artery is responsible for most of the contractile function of the left ventricle. If this artery is blocked, fainting, malignant arrhythmia, sudden cardiac arrest, and sudden death may occur at any time.

A simple explanation.

Without oxygenated blood, the heart suffocated.

There is only one consequence of suffocation...

Ready to begin!

To survive, a heart stent must be implanted.

Cardiac stents are the most commonly used medical devices in surgery, and their main materials are stainless steel, cobalt-chromium alloy, etc.

A stent is placed in the heart to open up narrowed or blocked blood vessels, keeping them open and ensuring blood supply to the heart muscle cells.

It is one of the most effective treatments for myocardial infarction.

Xia Tian briefly outlined the patient's condition to his wife. After listening, the wife was stunned, her face filled with panic.

"But...but I heard that after having a heart stent implanted, you need to take medication for the rest of your life?"

"Moreover, it will slow down lifespan."

"My husband is only 32 years old..."

Xia Tian explained, "A coronary stent is just an interventional treatment that opens up the blood vessel, but the myocardial infarction has already occurred. Myocardial infarction requires long-term medication, so even if a coronary stent is not used, the patient will still need to take medication long-term."

"His anterior descending artery was almost completely blocked."

"You can think of it this way: the left and right ventricles of the heart complement each other. Now that his left ventricle is unable to bleed, it will have very serious consequences."

"Do you understand this explanation?"

His wife was already in tears.

A perfectly healthy person, who was always in good health, suddenly became unwell...

This kind of blow is something most people cannot withstand.

The wife was very conflicted.

She hesitated for a moment and said to Xia Tian, ​​"Does the surgery have to be done now? I just notified my in-laws, and they're on their way. I want to wait for them to discuss it."

"Can."

Summer nodded.

"Just let me know the results before 5 p.m. Your husband's condition has stabilized. You two can discuss it at your leisure."

For doctors, a minor coronary stent surgery can be completed in less than an hour.

As the technology becomes more and more mature.

Heart stents are no longer considered a major surgery.

But for patients and their families...

This is like walking through the gates of hell.

It is necessary to give them some time to accept it.

come back to the office.

Several people are discussing the patient who died suddenly.

Wang Xiaobei exclaimed, "Oh my god! I've seen his matches before. He's really good at boxing. I think his main job is as a photographer, and when he's not taking photos, he goes boxing."

"People like that usually suffer heart attacks."

"Life is so hard..."

Summer poured herself a glass of warm water, leaned against the table, and joined a group chat.

"Exercise does not equal health."

"Besides, he does boxing part-time."

"The lack of a fixed daily training schedule, with periods of rest followed by periods of boxing, makes one most prone to heart attacks."

in reality.

More and more young people are dying suddenly.

In fact, the probability of sudden death is higher in young people than in the elderly.

Sudden death can be caused by various factors, including young people staying up late, high stress, fatigue, and engaging in high-intensity exercise.

Especially high-intensity exercise.

Exercise should be moderate.

Athletes also accumulate experience bit by bit, allowing their hearts to get used to the same intensity.

But today's young people...

After lying down for several weeks, your heart gets used to it. Then one day, you suddenly feel like exercising and go to the gym for high-intensity workouts. That's when your heart starts to complain.

Heart: I'm resting, why are you running around!

Heart: Don't touch me!

Heart: Holy crap, it's beating too fast, I can't take it anymore, I need a break...

An hour later.

The patient's wife came in, her eyes red, and said to Xia Tian.

"Doctor, is conservative treatment an option?"

keep?

With the traffic jam already this bad, are you still thinking about playing it safe?

Seeing Xia Tian's confusion, the woman's face darkened, and she said quietly.

"It's my father-in-law who doesn't agree to the stent procedure."

"He checked, and if he gets a heart stent, he'll be ruined."

"My husband is still young, so..."

Some side effects can occur after a heart stent is placed.

First: drug side effects. After a coronary stent is implanted, there is a certain chance that the blood vessel will become blocked again. In order to combat the blockage, medication must be used. Therefore, patients who have had stents implanted need to take medication for life.

Second: The support has fallen off or is damaged.

Medical materials generally have very high corrosion resistance, but they can still rust, collapse, or even stick together.

It can also pose certain risks to patients.

Third: Because of the presence of stents, blood clots can form in blood vessels. Therefore, patients who have had stents placed must maintain a low-calorie diet and control high blood lipids, high blood pressure, and weight.

There are many long-term effects.

There are also some folk beliefs that people who have had a heart stent implanted will not live more than ten years.

but……

If we don't install it, we might not survive until tomorrow.

Summer understands the patients' concerns.

He clearly explained the pros and cons to the patient's wife.

"You decide for yourselves."

"We need to perform surgery immediately after the heart stent is implanted; the patient's condition cannot wait."

"If you refuse surgery, sign a waiver stating that once you leave the hospital, the hospital will not be responsible for anything that happens."

His wife's expression changed instantly.

It's clear she's very conflicted.

At this time.

Han Meiji spoke up: "Why don't you discuss it with your husband?"

The wife immediately looked up: "Can I see my husband?"

Xia Tian nodded: "Okay."

"I'll take you there."

Because the patient's condition was unstable in the emergency room, he was not transferred to a regular ward. No one other than medical staff is allowed to enter the emergency room.

As soon as they entered the emergency room, the wife rushed towards her husband, crying.

After crying for a few seconds, the wife wiped away her tears and repeated Xia Tian's words.

She said quietly, "I agree to the surgery, but Dad and Mom don't..."

The husband sighed deeply, his face pale.

"It's okay, I'll sign the consent form for the surgery myself."

"When you go out later, tell them that it was my own insistence on doing this, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Don't cry, honey."

"I'll never box or run again. Let's take walks together or go square dancing together, don't worry."

The man comforted his wife for a while.

Chong Xia nodded.

"Dr. Xia, please schedule my surgery."

"The sooner the better."

The patient is conscious and can sign the consent form for the surgery independently.

After signing.

In the summer, we first arrange for patients to undergo preoperative examinations.

six o'clock.

The operation begins.
