What is an abdominal aortic aneurysm stent?

Many patients do not understand the situation of abdominal aortic aneurysm stents, do not know what kind of disease it is, and do not know what to do. So, what is the abdominal aortic aneurysm stent like?

Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm stents can be treated. Only patient treatment can help them recover. For details, please consult

When implanting a stent for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, the stent must cover the entire lesion and be longer than the lesion at both ends, so that a stable support can be obtained at both ends. If one end does not exceed the lesion tissue, then the fixation may not be secure. Aneurysms occur because various factors cause the local arterial wall to become weak, so under the impact of blood pressure, the local swells out to form a true aneurysm. Because the basic cause has not been removed, the intraluminal isolation and stent implantation is actually a palliative surgery, which causes internal leakage and further expansion of the hemangioma. Of course, it is also possible that the isolation below was incomplete at the beginning, but it should have been visible at the time of the operation, so the possibility of such a situation is relatively small.

Patients should pay close attention to whether there are still infected lesions, observe whether there are persistent fever symptoms, take medication regularly under the guidance of doctors, have regular checkups, pay attention to daily maintenance, quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to controlling blood pressure and blood lipid levels to prevent aortic dilatation after surgery and promote the patient's health recovery. According to the results of intraoperative bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests, it is necessary to adhere to long-term and targeted anti-infection treatment after surgery. Appropriate nutritional supplements and enhanced resistance can also help promote recovery and improve quality of life.

If the patient is assessed to have a high risk of rupture through relevant examinations, active surgery or interventional treatment is often required. Antibiotics alone cannot be relied upon, and the focus of treatment must be on improving long-term prognosis. The patient's condition should be closely monitored, and surgery should be performed immediately if there are signs of persistent enlargement or rupture.

Therefore, patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm stents can be treated, and patients can understand and receive treatment based on the doctor's instructions to help control the disease.
