Preface

Cardiovascular Hospital

Cardiac vascular blockage is a critical manifestation of coronary heart disease, and stent implantation is a commonly used minimally invasive treatment, but some patients cannot undergo stent surgery due to severe vascular calcification, diffuse blockage of multiple blood vessels, and special vascular anatomy. This does not mean that there is no way out of treatment, and there are many mature clinical options to help unblock blood flow and protect heart function.

Option 1: Heart bypass surgery

Cardiovascular Hospital

This is a classic surgical treatment for severe blood vessel blockage, which can be called a "diversion project" of the cardiovascular system.

Principle: The doctor will take the patient's own blood vessels (such as the saphenous vein in the legs, the internal breast artery in the chest) and build a "new pathway" to allow blood to bypass the blocked blood vessel segments and directly supply blood to the heart muscle.

Applicable scenarios: Patients with diffuse blockage of multiple vessels, left main lesions, and re-stenosis after stenting and cannot be stent again.

Advantages: It can solve the problem of blood vessel blockage more thoroughly, with a high long-term patency rate, effectively relieving angina pectoris and reducing the risk of myocardial infarction.

Option 2: Conservative treatment with drugs

Cardiovascular Hospital

Drugs are the basic treatment for all patients with cardiovascular blockage, and even postoperative patients need to take medication for a long time. For patients who cannot be stent or bypass, standardized medication is the core.

Core drug categories

✅ Antiplatelet drugs: such as aspirin, clopidogrel, etc., to prevent thrombosis and avoid aggravation of blood vessel blockage.

✅ Lipid-regulating and plaque stabilizing drugs: such as statins, reduce blood lipids, stabilize plaque in blood vessels, and prevent plaque rupture and acute myocardial infarction.

✅ Drugs to improve myocardial ischemia: such as nitrates, β blockers, etc., relieve chest tightness, angina symptoms, and reduce the burden on the heart.

Key precautions: You must follow the doctor's advice to take the medicine on time, and do not stop or reduce the medication without authorization; Regularly review blood lipids, liver and kidney function, and adjust the medication regimen according to the indicators.

Option 3: Emerging minimally invasive treatment methods

Cardiovascular Hospital

With the development of medical technology, some new minimally invasive methods can also deal with some special blood vessel blockage problems.

Drug-coated balloon: The balloon with the drug is sent to the blocked blood vessel, and the drug will adhere to the blood vessel wall after dilation, inhibiting the proliferation of the endometrial of blood vessels and avoiding restenosis, which is suitable for patients with restenosis and small vessel lesions after stenting.

Plaque atherectomy: The hard calcified plaque in the blood vessel is ground with a high-speed rotating "grinding head" to create conditions for subsequent treatment, suitable for patients with severe vascular calcification that cannot be dilated by balloon.


【Mayo Health Tips】Strict lifestyle intervention

Regardless of the treatment regimen, a healthy lifestyle is the "cornerstone" of protecting the heart and is the key to delaying the progression of the disease.

Diet: Low salt, low fat and low sugar, eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and reduce the intake of fatty meat, animal offal, and fried foods.

Exercise: After the doctor assesses safety, do gentle exercises such as walking and tai chi to avoid strenuous exercise. If chest tightness and shortness of breath occur during exercise, stop resting immediately.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol: Smoking can damage the vascular endothelium and aggravate plaque formation; Alcohol can raise blood pressure and increase the burden on the heart, and it needs to be strictly limited or abstained.

Control underlying diseases: Actively manage hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, and monitor indicators regularly to avoid fluctuations in the condition and damage to the heart.

If the heart blood vessels are blocked and cannot be stented, it does not mean that the condition is "incurable". Patients need to go to the cardiovascular specialist of Hebei Mayo Cardiovascular Hospital in time, and the doctor will formulate an individualized treatment plan according to the angiography results, heart function, general condition, etc., and Mayo Hospital focuses on the treatment of difficult cardiovascular diseases.
