How many lucky people are here with atleast 15 years old coronary stents?🎉🎉

Informative

Very informative!

This is one of the most informative videos I've come across on "Stent Health" post-insertion. Thank you so very much, Doc. It would be more beneficial if the entire video/lecture could be made available. Thanks in advance.

Thank you Doctor that was most helpful.

Can the plaque be reversed by medicine, duel and life style?

Thanks very useful

I enjoy listening to doctors who had no stents put in.😂

Well done Dr. Excellent explanation & presentation. ❤️

I recently had stent placement in my right leg on November 12th 2022, however, I’m not able to fully bend walk as well as I did before having the stents place, is this normal and do it get better with walking and running once again? Thanks for any response and your time as well.

Thanks a lot doctor for your very lucid and useful lecture.

This was produced in 2012. A lot has changed. Now not advised to take statins or aspirin . This should be removed from KZfaq. This is criminal advice !

Nicely presented 👍. Especially liked inclusion of more technical and subtle aspects of cardiac stents than that usually given to patients. Many thanks 🙂!

My wife, now 77 years had heart attack problem about 18 years ago. On angiogram two arteries were blocked. Added to this she was going into Coma now and then. She was referred to NIMS Hospital. Dr. Sheshaghiri HOD of Cardiology dept., had placed two medicated stents simultaneously. Regarding other problem other Dorctor placed Pacemaker and Cell with 25 years life. Every six months she goes to NIMS for Consultation and pacemaker check up. Last check was done in August 2022. Life of Pacemaker cell is 3.5 years.

Thanks so much Dr for all this info. Makes it so much easier to understand the pros and cons of having a stent.

Sorry…I know my stents saved me..and God…2004 at age 49 the back of my heart stopped beating..my surgeon was able to stent my widow maker…he later told my family that I had maybe one week to live had I not had the stent placed..two more were placed later..no blockages since age of 49 to now 68…the thing that has helped me? I’ve been on plavix and aspirin since..too many times you remove this and more clots appear or blockages..leave ppl on plavix and aspirin..

Keto and intermittent fasting.

And >70% is flow limiting creating symptoms with exertion

Thanks for this lecture. Easily understood and brings comfort from greater understanding.

My mom had stent surgery 2 days ago. I'm very scared what's going to be the long term effect of having a stent 😰

Of course we get more problems the doctors give no information on how to prevent further progression. That cholesterol bull shit is still taught when they know it’s crap

Sir i have a heart attack in 2016 the stent is placed in proximal lad blockage is 100 percent what can i do my ejection fraction is38 percent age is 49 my medicines are ecosprin 150 av ranozex 500 mg metolar xr 25mg pentacid 40 mg

Great information Doc but please keep the slides for a little longer time thanks

My friend had a heart attack 22 years ago, He had a stent fitted and 22 years later he is feeling fantastic, The stent saved his life and still is 22 years later.

I have had two heart attacks due to high bad cholesterol. I was diagnosed with this arteriosclerosis. On the second heart attack I had the pack removed and three stents placed on the main artery put together to make one in order to cover the extent of the plack damage! Thank you for your medical contribution on this subject, it has helped me understand this disease.

I had 2 medicated stents put in 4 years 6 months ago, I haven't had any problems, I had a pretty massive heart attack, diet change, and exercise.

Can hav heart attack with or without stents

Stuff the stent I had one and made me worse after better I never had it I never had these symptoms before the rotten thing

I had an stent in age of 36 in right coronary artery which is drug eluding ,what do you think the life as i am following strictly doctors medications and exercise 40 mins a day.

M 29 year old....but I had stent bcz of heart attack ....(2-12-2019) 3days ago....any advice for me

Excellent information and very well explained. God bless

Very informative. I'm 12 mths post HA 55 yr old man with stent in. How come no one complains about when you wake up in the mornings and you feel like crap. I mean, besides my ears ringing stupid, my head is sparking zapping as if still sea sick drunk or overcharged, disoriented and weak. Half me physical strength and hard yakka abilities are all gone. Clumsy, forgetful, feeling cold and wake up 50 times a night with leg pains and pins and needles. and spaced anxious, useless and incompatible feeling all day long. I'm compliant with 7 different tablets and pump spray and depression tablets. Am I going off.

Vascular disease can be reversed with a change in lifestyle. Nobody wants to diet. Also the western diet is devoid of magnesium, zinc and copper. We are living in a mineral dessert. Extra sugar in everywhere in all proceeded foods is creating a tsunami of diabetes and auto immune disorders. At 63 and with a family with a history of stents, by-passes and heart attacks I am free from this due to self education.

As a Stent patient, I found this video very valuable in helping me understand how to live with atherosclerosis and how to prevent future problems. Great information. Thank you Dr.

Excellent! Thank you. You answered many of my questions.

My father got heart attack after which he underwent angioplasty . He doesnt have bp, diabetics or any medical problem . So is there any chance he will get attack again . ? I am feeling helpless and scared . He is totally vegan yet he had to face it ... Will he ablw to get to normal after this procedure ???

Thank You sooo much Dr.My daughter had a heart attack 3 weeks ago and had 2 stents put in an artery.Today at work she almost passed out and she got sooo scared.I am so glad I got to listen to you.Her heart dr didn"t explain WHY she had to take these meds.I learned more from you.She is overweight and is now eating much better.Thank You again

Drink plenty of water. Stay away from any thing with sugar as much as you can, such as soda cookies cakes, candies.Maybe eat something sweet once in a while , Sugar turns to fat. . Stay away from greasy food. If you need to cook, cook with Olive oil and grass field butter, use as less as you can. Eat plenty of fruit, and eat foods with fiber. try unsalted nuts, fat free milk, wheat bread or grain breads. yogurt. Check out the D.A.S.H diet. Eat small portions. NO Smoking and try not to be around people that are smoking. You have to make a change. Don't eat buffet. I am having to change my life style and I am feeling really good. The most important thing is accepting and trusting Jesus in our Lives. He will give us strength and courage to change our life style. He did not put this on us,we did it to yourself.

My cardiologist told me nothing

Thank you so very much

Does air pollition cause plaque just like smoking does as you say?

Can too many stents make your case for heart bypass difficult because there is no not-metallic part artery left to do bypass? How do you deal with such cases? Can you cut an artery at a place where the stent was implanted and join it to a bypass graft?

Why put a stent...why not just do balooning and just suck the plaque out...?

As you mentioned whole procedure including PCI can take anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, I wonder how much radiation (X-Ray) one gets exposed to ? Is it ON continuously for all this duration ? Even the Interventionist who is close by you, should have some risk to explore for this long even though he may be wearing special west-coat. Any views please ?

Thank you for sharing this info. I go under the knife Thursday.

How do the statins stabilize the plague

What happens when the stent breaks years down the line due to metal fatigue.

I had a stent placed on my LAD 2 years ago. I am considering elective surgery (Tummy tuck and breast augmentation). My cardio says I'm good, but has not performed any tests in all this time. The surgeon asked for a ECG and a stress test. ECG is good, but Cardiologist says stress test is unnecessary. Should I go on with my elective surgeries? Am I at big risk? I hope you can answer my question.

Very good information. Thanks for sharing. I had two drug-eluding stents placed in Sept 2005, and have had no cardiac problems since then to date. (June 2018) Still quite active, walking biking and hiking up to 15 Km and 500 meter ascent/descent. Now at age 77.

6:37 - This is "atherosclerosis"? Yes!!! This is Classic atherosclerosis plaque!!!
