Heart disease is one of the most prevalent diseases in the modern era because of many factors affecting human health, which is one of the most important human behavior, on the one hand, people are interested in fast food and fatty foods and high in fat and cholesterol, either because of the rapid pace of life that is not allowed to eat Regularly, or prepare food at home. Or because of excessive attention to extravagance and excessive eating because of the love of food itself. In both cases, the result is an accumulation of fat in the arteries and a narrowing or blockage of the arteries. On the other hand, there are many factors that help speed up the process, not eating foods rich in animal fats and saturated vegetable fats, the most important of which is the pollution of major cities, smoking, drinking alcohol, drugs .. And many other factors that exhaust the heart Arteries and lead to a blockage in those arteries.
The most common treatments that have spread in recent years with the increase in medical progress are the installation of supports for the arteries located around the heart in places of distress or obstruction, where the doctors enter the catheter to the injured artery, and carry the catheter in front of the balloon swelling in the place of closure or narrow, Around the balloon is the stent, which consists of a small metal roll that is left inside the artery to support the expansion from the inside.
The enlarged and reinforced area is supposed to remain intact, but in many cases the internal artery tissue grows on the surface of the stent more often than the presence of a foreign object in the artery, and there is limited restriction once again in the affected area. But new types of stents have been developed to reduce tissue growth around them for several months, thus preventing arterial narrowing again after catheterization.
And there are many factors that make the doctor decide the validity of the status of the stent or not, where there are many risks of course because of this process can affect the life of the patient, and in the case of the doctor’s decision not to make the stent is another method of widening the artery is appropriate for the situation, There are many methods and processes that are conducted on a daily basis in a successful and case-by-case manner.
