Chapter 797: Heart Stent

Along the way, Empress Changsun didn't say a word, but kept looking at the facilities in the ambulance with her own eyes. Then I looked out the small window at the back of the ambulance.

Looking at the scenery that kept passing through the small window, Empress Eldest Sun didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

After arriving at the hospital, Su Qian quickly arranged for a doctor to conduct a series of examinations on Empress Changsun, and under Zhang Nan's strong recommendation, Su Qian also changed all the doctors who examined Empress Changsun to women.

For Zhang Nan's request, Su Qian is not incomprehensible. After all, many female patients with special identities will choose doctors of the same sex to deal with them, but Su Qian didn't think much about this.

After several experts summarized and exchanged the condition of Empress Eldest Sun, Su Qian called Zhang Nan to the conference room.

"Mr. Zhang, you must be able to be regarded as the family member of Miss Eldest Sun." One of the older doctors asked.

When Zhang Nan heard this question, he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only nod.

"Miss Changsun's condition is not complicated, but her heart has hereditary heart disease, so every time she is sick, it will induce the lungs to breathe poorly, and over time, there are some problems in the lungs." The old doctor said while looking at the X-ray of the eldest grandson empress.

"That shouldn't be intractable." Zhang Nan heard the doctor say that his condition was not too serious, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

What he is most afraid of is what kind of incurable disease Empress Changsun has, even modern medicine can't treat it, this is the most headache, fortunately, Empress Changsun's illness is not very serious for modern medicine.

"It's not difficult to treat, but you need to make a heart stent. It is used to help supply blood to the heart. Another doctor said.

"Yes, as for the lung disease, with drug treatment, it can be cured after a period of time."

"Heart stents? What does that have to do with heart bypass? As soon as Zhang Nan heard the doctor talk about heart stents, he immediately remembered heart bypass surgery, which is very similar to heart stents, but unfortunately although Zhang Nan is no stranger to this term, Zhang Nan really doesn't know what these two surgeries do.

"If you want to talk about the relationship, it's that both of these medical treatments are used to treat coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. This is what we often call coronary heart disease, that is, the blood vessels supplying the heart are blocked and need to be opened. The main way to get through is to put the bracket and build the bridge. A doctor saw that Zhang Nan didn't understand anything, so he had to popularize medical knowledge to Zhang Nan.

"The stent is to put a metal stent into the blocked blood vessel to stretch the blocked blood vessel open to ensure blood circulation. Of course, now there are degradable stents abroad, if Mr. Zhang Nan you have special requirements, our hospital is also connected with several foreign medical institutions, you can get degradable stents, but the cost is ......"

"Money is not an issue, you go on." Zhang Nan nodded, as long as he could cure the eldest grandson queen, Comrade Li Er might not know how to reward him, how could Zhang Nan care about this.

"Ah, then I'll go on, the so-called bypass is also very easy to understand, that is, to build an artificial bridge for the heart again, so that the blood passes through the bridge, as for the previous blood vessels, even if they are blocked, it doesn't matter."

"That's right, according to Miss Changsun's coronary angiography, Miss Changsun's vascular blockage is not serious, but because she has not received timely treatment, it will lead to aggravation of the condition, but now, my opinion is still to do a stent and not a bypass, Miss Changsun's age is not too old, and the elasticity of the blood vessels has not yet reached the time when the stent can not be supported, so there is no need to do bypass surgery, just pay attention to postoperative recovery and maintenance."

"And when will this surgery be done? It's best to do it as quickly as possible. Zhang Nan said hurriedly, Zhang Nan didn't want the eldest grandson queen to stay here for too long, what if she stayed too long, what should she do?

"This, if it is Mr. Zhang Nan and you want to use foreign degradable materials, it will naturally take a while, if you want to use metal, you can operate tomorrow, which is not a major operation." The old doctor said.

"Which of these two brackets works better?" Zhang Nan asked.

Hearing Zhang Nan's question, the doctors present all laughed, and then the young doctor said to Zhang Nan: "This is naturally a degradable stent, Mr. Zhang Nan, you may not know this thing very well, then I will explain." ”

"The stent can provide strong support for the blood vessels in the short term after treatment, and when the blood vessels are remodeled, they are "retired" and degraded directly into water and carbon dioxide in the body. With the unique advantages of biodegradability, degradable stent materials have become the mainstream trend in the development of international cardiac stent technology. With the advent of biodegradable stents, which can be completely degraded and absorbed within 3 years, they are replaced by new cells, and the arteries are able to return to their original form and function, and move and bend like healthy blood vessels. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, and at the same time, it helps to reduce the probability of angina in the future. In addition, with traditional metal stents, patients need to take anticoagulant drugs to avoid the formation of blood clots, and the permanent existence of metal stents in the patient's body means that patients need to take drugs for life. The degradable stent allows the patient to get rid of the trouble of taking anticoagulant drugs for life, and even because it is degradable, the stent can be implanted multiple times. The old doctor also added.

"It's just that there is still no way to produce this thing in China, so if you need this kind of bracket, you need to order it from abroad. So this time will have to wait a little longer, but at most it is a week to be able to operate on Miss Changsun, if Mr. Zhang Nan you decide to use this stent now, then our hospital can place an order first. ”

"Don't think about it, just this degradable stent, please don't tell the patient more about her condition recently, although everyone knows that the disease is not serious, but I am still afraid that the patient will scare himself, so please don't say more." Zhang Nan thought about it, and then opened his mouth to admonish.

In Zhang Nan's opinion, this kind of operation is very simple, for modern medicine, which has been able to change heads, it is simply insignificant to put a stent on the blood vessels of the heart to help supply blood, but if this is known to Empress Changsun, Empress Changsun may not know what she thinks.

If you scare the eldest grandson queen out, it will be a big problem.
