For patients with coronary heart disease, more understanding of coronary intervention, many people worry about the treatment of this disease for the safety of patients?
Experts pointed out that due to the continuous development and progress of equipment and technology, the success rate of PCI operation has reached more than 95%, and the incidence of various complications is less than 5%, and the serious complications are less than 1%.
With the advent of drug-eluting stents, the incidence of in stent restenosis has decreased by at least 20%, and the proportion of stent thrombosis is similar to bare metal stent, less than 1%. In general, PCI is safe and effective.
From the point of view of the operation process, whether through the arm radial artery or through the thigh femoral artery, the probability of complications caused by the operation is very low, especially in large hospitals and catheterization rooms with perfect equipment, the safety of the operation is guaranteed by experienced surgeons.
However, it needs to be reminded that interventional therapy as an invasive means of diagnosis and treatment, there are still risks! Each patient's own conditions and physical conditions are different, and many factors such as the change of disease condition are sometimes difficult to predict before operation. Therefore, we must fully understand the risk and related complications before operation.
