This might sound like a stupid question but why not remove the plaque? do we not have the technology? I'm 73 to 75% clogged in the right artery, I'm on heart medication and a statin right now.

[@healthdecide]

That’s not a stupid question at all! Currently, angioplasty and stent placement are common procedures used to open narrowed arteries caused by plaque buildup. While it might seem logical to remove the plaque, the process is more complicated. The arteries can be very delicate, and removing plaque could risk damaging the artery wall or causing a blockage elsewhere. Instead, angioplasty uses a balloon to compress the plaque against the artery walls, and a stent is placed to keep the artery open. There are also procedures like atherectomy, which specifically involves cutting away or shaving off plaque using a special device. However, these procedures are typically used in specific cases depending on the location and extent of the blockage. Researchers are always looking for new techniques and technologies to improve treatment, but for now, angioplasty and stenting have proven to be effective for many patients. It’s essential to keep discussing your condition with your doctor, who can provide personalized advice based on your health status and treatment options.

[@bretyoung1869]

[@Cheshtaanand_official]

Are there any side effects after surgery?

[@healthdecide]

The stent itself usually doesn’t cause side effects unless there's an issue with the procedure. Major side effects typically arise from complications during the stent placement or the procedure itself. Under optimal conditions, angioplasty and stent placement alleviate symptoms and reduce the risk of heart attack due to obstructive CAD. If the procedure goes well, patients generally experience only minor discomfort at the catheter entry site, which typically resolves quickly. When symptoms are successfully relieved, these minor side effects are usually well-tolerated. However, catheter-based procedures with stent placement can lead to complications ranging from entry site issues to severe problems like stroke, heart attack, or even death. Fortunately, the risk of these severe complications is low. The most common patient complaints are related to the entry site, including bruising, swelling, bleeding, or minor infection.

Why not the took away plaque if they can go so much inside to plant steel stunt ,

It's our really made from metal?! Could you show us the actual stent?

[@BzzZz-b8i]

I HAVE ONE QUESTION DOES STAND OPEN THE CHEST AND DO THE SURGERY AND THEN PUNCH THE ARTERY ?

[@healthdecide]

It sounds like you have some questions about how stent placement works! During the procedure, they typically do not open the chest. Instead, stent placement is usually done through a minimally invasive approach. The most common method involves inserting a catheter into a blood vessel, usually in the groin or wrist. The catheter is guided to the blocked artery in the heart. Once there, a small balloon at the end of the catheter is inflated to open the blockage, and then the stent-a small mesh tube-is placed to keep the artery open. So, there’s no punching of the artery; rather, it’s a carefully controlled process designed to restore blood flow without major surgery.

The downside is that plaque continues to buildup inside the stent, and at around 2 years, the patient will return for another stent because the first stent will have been clogged up. Eventually, the artery tears and arterial bypass surgery is performed. A better option than a stent is to go with an Atherectomy. Plaque is removed, no stent. Minimally invasive.

[@kobiecamp1134]

I have to do more research on Atherectomy, but just by Googling it sounds like a better alternative. But in the meantime I'd prefer not to have any surgery done to remove plaque, or push plaque back. So I will be taking K2(a vitamin that's said to prevent, and reverse plaque build up).

[@kobiecamp1134]

Yes plaque can be removed by another procedure called atherectomy. In which using a stent doesn't remove plaque at all. It just pushes plaque back. And from what I hear new plaque can form around that stent. But in the meantime you should start including K2 into your diet because it is said to prevent, and reverse plaque build up.

[@healthdecide]

People typically start getting angioplasty and stent placement procedures in middle age or later, often around their 50s or 60s, as this is when coronary artery disease (CAD) becomes more common. However, the procedure can be necessary at a younger age if someone has significant risk factors for heart disease, such as a strong family history, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, or obesity. Stent placement can be done in both emergency and planned situations: This procedure is often performed during a heart attack to quickly open a blocked artery and restore blood flow to the heart. This is crucial to minimize heart damage and improve survival rates. Stents are also placed during planned procedures. These are scheduled when a patient has significant blockages in their coronary arteries that are causing symptoms like chest pain (angina) but not an immediate heart attack. The goal is to relieve symptoms and prevent future cardiac events
