I just had 2 stents put in my LAD. At age 80, I am hoping once is enough. I have seen on youTube where the newer stents have a coating that discourages them from stopping up again. I watched a video where the doctor said if the blockage isn't too bad they can put another stent inside the old one. I guess the point is for us patients to quit doing what caused the blockage to start with.
Iam an interventional cardiologist . Sorry to highlight an important point . The operators must wear mask and caps . Otherwise what is the point point in weaing all those serile gowns and precautions.. The face of the operator can be shown at the beginning and end if required. Patients are at risk of infection.
When my Dad was getting his stent inserted, the surgeon punctured through the artery which caused bleeding into the pericardium which resulted in an emergency procedure which in turn caused multiple severe follow-on complications. Lesson to be learned: no medical procedure is without risks.
@@chongxina8288 thank you! My grandma smoked for 72 years and has 1 arterie 95% clogged. And it was a big challenge for her health. But She’s well they performed the surgery a few months ago and everything was good.
@@adriannasanchez Me and my mum are smokers, looks like she’s going to get a stent. ☹️ I have nobody else tbh, I have autism and I’m not very good at social stuff. She’s had cancer. We’re both just deciding not to worry too much about it and remaining upbeat. I’m really glad your Grandmas ok. She sounds like a tough cookie! 💪😬 Much luck to you both! ❤️
@@chongxina8288 thank you. I hope u and ur mom Stay positive and I know it’s hard to do this but try to stay away from the cigarettes at least limit your use. I know the addiction is hard but please try
It depends on plaque composition and risk of dissection. Heavily calcified lesions are often rotablated or shock-wave'd to break up calcification for stent advancement. You want to avoid this if possible because it increases the risk of the artery dissecting and can turn a very stable plaque into an unstable one (leading to a thrombosis and subsequent AMI).
You gown, glove and drape and then proceed to speak, thus expectorating onto equipment that will enter the bloodstream of a living pt. Similar comments can be made about hair covering. I find this very distressing.
6+ people on this team? It's often just 3 nowadays; an RT, an RN, and an operator. The more the better, but $$$ demands reduced staffing. I could watch this kinda stuff all day. :)
And soon RCIS will take over and their will be no more RT needed in the Cath Lab. What country is this because last time I checked cap and masks are required in the lab during a procedure.
@@mansishukla1473 Yes drug eluting stent. I think drug eluding just means that the body will not reject the stent, but any stent can sometimes have restenosis.
because although this was uploaded in April of 2020 the actual procedure was done in 2018 before COVID. The procedure is also minimally invasive so it doesn't require one
With some accreditation agencies, because Cardiac Cathaterization Labs usually perform percutaneous procedures, which are considered non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures; Therefore, hair covers and masks are not required. Personally, I'm at least wearing a mask. This has been my experience in working in Cath Lab. I may be wrong.
@@lowpunchmiller3881 Exactly, personally I find it a bit ridiculous though. The procedure may be percutaneous, but the caths and guide wires are all being exposed to respiratory droplets, it's not at all difficult to put on a mask and cap and certainly every cath lab I've worked in (Australia) now requires this for accreditation.

I had this done 2 stents. Thank You Dr. Parveen Upal in New Jersey! I am 70 and doing fine thank to you my IDOL!
Hope you are doing well ❤️🩹❤️🩹😊😊

And this is why Drs make big bucks
I'd like to come over the pond and have you sort out my LAD plaqueing. Practice on me, if it's not too much trouble.
6 sept 2020. I've just been told that i need in stent restenosis , as things are today i hope I live long enough to receive this surgery. 🙁
Are u okey?
What is your age sir? When u got your first stent and when restonasis happened?
I hope you get what you need friend
hope you’re fine
I had the same "restenosis"... my stent was almost clogged. and got 2 additional stents in.. (on the same machine as on the video)...
How can an interventionist made such a mistake for risky procedure such as this? Restonosis

does anyone know of a doctor that can take out 2 stents placed in the LAD. Any help is appreciated. Thank you
Stents are permanent and can't be removed.
But why 😮
Why dont they shave, cut or remove those plaques?
Excellent question.

I am 44 yrs old and have 9 stents it sucks
Sorry to hear that. I had 1 and to this day I don't feel good. Feel worse! I changed cardiologist to get a second opinion. 🙏
I been told i need one tomorrow and im scared
My dad lad in stent but aftr 3 days he had sudden attack i dont know what is the reason
Did he survive
Kali Muscle brought me here
Is it rare to use this laser technology ? I had restonosis last month (Jan 2021) and they just re-expanded my old stent and added two more ?
When you got your first stent sir? Have u got restonasis in that?
Yes, that is where my restenosis was, in my 5 year old stent.
@@claudedesaulniers2300 was that drug eluting stent? How it got restonasis?
@@mansishukla1473 Yes drug eluting stent. I think drug eluding just means that the body will not reject the stent, but any stent can sometimes have restenosis.
@@truhunk1 the drug stops the extra growth of scar tissue.. Did you quit smoking and drinking?
Amazing - neither man has a face mask ?
Yea

It’s not surgery, it is a procedure. The patient is numbed, not asleep!
Sorry dear sir you are crossed the rules and regulations of catheter lab 😔🤦♂️
NO MASKS !!!!!!
I’m surprised masks aren’t having to be worn.
It was probably before COVID 19

@@lachyt5247 Exactly.
It's so stupid they don't remove the plaque while stenting.
