Coronary Stents - The Nebraska Medical Center

- Опубліковано 24 тра 2011
- Coronary stents have saved and improved the lives of millions of people. Nebraska Medical Center cardiologist Dr. Haysam Akkad explains how a stent is place inside a blocked artery and what a patient is likely to feel after the procedure is finished. Doctors place the stent by threading a wire through an artery in the leg until the stent is at the point where the artery blocked or narrowed. A tiny balloon inside the stent then inflates. The stent, a tiny wire mesh tube the holds the artery open, allowing increased blood flow.

Cardiologists are angels. They saved my life!!!
Hi - you had Stent?
I just had a stent put in and will get three more after Christmas. I had a heart attack and almost died. I feel great now. This is an alternative to open heart surgery. Talk to your Doctor
before you decide.
@@usmanwaheed1213 yes
Cardiologists, surgeons, biomedical engineers and many more saved your life sir

I'm 38 and going for an Angiogram in a couple of weeks. Don't know yet whether I'll get a stent or not, but it is encouraging to hear about your experience.
My 81 year old dad just had another stent after experiencing 100 percent blockage. He's doing great!
I'm 40 yr old and just had stents.. Pls can you tel me ur dad's experience
Is he taking blood thinners?
@alba Aguirre thank you soo much.. You gave me much more positive energy.
@@usmanwaheed1213 were you overweight?
I had two stents fitted in my heart, One in my left artery and one in my right artery, The difference is amazing, I cycle seven miles everyday on my mountain bike up the hills and go running on the tread mill three times a week, My arteries had narrowing due to plaque build up but having the stents fitted as transformed my life, I have changed my diet to a healthy one and had the one hour procedure in hospital while i was awake, I must stress i did not have a heart attack but was getting discomfort in my arms and across my chest if i did anything physical, Kind of a dull pain which went away when i rested, The Cardiologists saved and transformed my life, I cannot thank them enough and i am very very grateful.
Where are you living bro??

Thank for taking time to make this video. Great explanation and showing stent placement.
Thank you Doctor for very good presentation.
Thanks Doctor, feel assured.
Mum just had three done, saved her life it’s amazing
How is your mom now!
Thank you for my Cardiologist Godbless you always Doc.and Keepsafe too☝️❤️❤️❤️
This Procedure just saved my mom's life...Thank you for all you do
How’s your mom?
@@Diana-zl3ue she is wonderful. Thank you for asking
Very helpful as I am about to have a stent
Very good explanation. I also had a stent placed last year. My stent was placed in a section with branch and some blood flows across the stent wall (not from one end to another) to the branch. I wonder if it is a normal practice to do this way because if the junction is clogged (the stent wall is "sealed:"), there seems nothing that can be done in future (you can't cut a hole on the stent).
Mu dad had one inserted and felt the relief of pain immediately
Than you.
I got two yesterday 2/26/20. I had bypass surgery on 5 arteries in 1993. I’ve had chest pain for months so my doctor decided to order a cardiac Cath. They found 2 arteries 95% blocked. You are sedated but awake during the 90 minute procedure. There was a fair amount of discomfort but not pain. Just knowing what was going on was weird. I had the Cath inserted through the wrist artery. All pain is gone
. I feel great.
in which country?
That's good to here..I'm 60 and going in the morning for procedure...how long before u are doing normal things..is it days?
Good luck and fast recovery, I had two stents fitted in January and feel fantastic now, I exercise regular and eat healthy, The surgeon also went through my wrist, I wish you well.
Life saver ❤save my too I cardiac arrest 9mins Thursday lucky I survive
Old video? I had stent placed using artery in my arm. Recovery done in LaGrange, Illinois after heart attack on a plane (5hrs) then at hospital had to wait 24 hrs since I can not tolerate Iodine. Thanks to cardiologists at Adventist Lagrange Trauma Center & Firefighters who saved my life since SW Airlines could care less.
How long is recovery for something like this? In other words, could you go back to work in 5 days?
Excuse me, but how it was the feeling, in your age ?
Im a first hand believer it saved my life from a widow maker and it will yours to if you get to the Dr fast enough
I'm glad to hear you survived! Hopefully I'll never have to deal with cardiovascular issues, but either way I'm thankful for science!
I had a windowmaker heart attack 2 yrs ago i was 39 had 100% blockage of the lad artert i dont remember much though
What was the cost of the stent?
A widow maker is a left main, not lad
@@allseriousness True. but blocks everything downstream. LAD and left circumflex.
Didn't the saw that a vein was broken?
Mark you will be fine so try not to worry, i try and stay active and mainly eat chicken and fish, I always have oats in the morning, nuts, advacados and i cut all the junk food out, My cholestrol was 6.1 and for the last 4 years it as been around 2 to 2.5, Let me know how you get on mark.
is stunt is good for diabetic patient
if the coronary arteries are cleaned out then why the stent
My mother also done this but she is no more now after the stent surgery sucessfully completed😓
I am feeling chest heaviness after one stent in left artery from 3 months now. Initially it was once in 3 weeks. Now heaviness daily in early morning which persists through out the day. And again increased in next early morning.
Go to hospital it means your artery is blocked by the stent. Immune system causes scarring on stent area.
@@caanosadax9561 is recovery possible sir ? Shall angiography show this or any other blockage ? Or do angiography shows other defects too ? Because i am afraid that any other blockage was missed during angiography.
Are/were you taking the necessary blood thinners/ Because if not, you are in worse situation than before until you start taking the blood thinners.
About how long is the recovery period and process in a patient under 60 years of age. I realize that every situation and patient is different just inquiring a (guestamation if u will). Is there any pain involved? I hear this is outpatient procedure now that one goes home the same day?
If you have 5 stents in your artery Can 1 or 2 stents be remove
No, they become an integral part of the artery wall. If the stents themselves become blocked, I think another stent can be inserted inside.
my dad which is 62 had a heath attack before chrismas and has just had 4 stents placed and now he has gone again to get some stents on the other artery because he has 80% blockage. Is it dangerous to have that many stents ? I am so worried about him

how is your dad doing now? My husband who just turned 63 got a stent in his left circumflex artery last week. His symptom was shortness of breath when running, he didn't have a heart attack they stented him before the heart attack could happen. I'm concerned for the future of his health. He has never smoked and is about 15 lbs overweight. I told him to stop eating eggs and we are switching to oatmeal for breakfast and less meat (hopefully). I hope he can stick to a better diet.
@@jdenino6022 I am 27 , eating 2eggs daily is this problem for me
@@idreeskhan6740look into a whole foods plant based diet. Trust me, it’s amazing.
I had one fitted and I can now breath when walking, 50 years ago I would have just dropped dead.
is stunt work
How do stents stay in place forever? Can they contract and just get into the blood stream?
No, they are expanded to fit snugly into the artery and some tissue grows over them so they become part of the artery. Modern ones are "drug-eluting" meaning they are coated with something to prevent plaque forming over them.

By Doing stent implantation everything will be alright ha Doctor

I hope this does not hurt getting it done in NYC Long Island. In. the next 4 hours 😢. I blame. This guy 🎃
RAILWAY HINCH DUG THROUGH TABROCK RAIZRA.
this accent is egyption
I'm going in tomorrow morning for procedure.my symptom was getting light headed so my dr. Put me on nuclear treadmill test and that showed some narrowing of a artery. So getting it done before the big one gets me...😂
Hey! Hope you get to feeling better soon🌸
How many hours have you waited for angioplasty to get done?
My mom had 3 stents in her right coronary artery last week but still she having breathing problems...
How is she now?
@@Diana-zl3ue hi Diana thx for asking. She is better but still gets chest pain randomly maybe few times a week...
Where are you living bro ??
Contact doctor
@@newjerseyan I hope she can get answers about that. I feel bad for her.
Also, preventative maintenance is best. Eat your almonds!
That isnt gonna do crap. Its genetic unfortunately
Vegan diet has been proven to prevent and in some cases even reverse heart disease.
@@EvaLasta I fixed my 90% blockage myself, without stent.
@@k0nstntcs798a whole foods plant based diet to be accurate. But of course a plant based diet is cholesterol-free, even a junk food one.
@@gyanvidyarthi3096 do tell
Please pray for my dad with this procedure 😴
How’s your dad? My dad just got his done this morning
@@Diana-zl3ue he is fine now 1 stent are implanted .thanks alot dear.
How is your dad now?
LAD stenosis
Stents are very profitable to cardiologists and hospitals. The are risky and of no value to the patient unless they are in cardiac arrest.
Why is that?
@@bobminderhoud8951 Because many of them are done on patients not having life threatening symptoms - and a certain amount statistically will die from the procedure itself. Additionally, it can re-occlude even with the newer stents.
Because stents damages the intima of the artery.... Which itself causes blockade after some time
It must be a preventative procedure, right? Why wait for "the big one"?
What a load of crap, I had two stents fitted and it transformed my life, You always get the bulls hitters on here who read to many comics
Dear daughter and sons, please take consensus of your old parent who need angioplasty. If they are not ready don't go for it. Allow them to die in house peacefully in place of dying alone in hospital in operation theatre . I am feeling guilty for my mother.
My mom dyed. She bled to death from this
Meaning? After procedure?
usman waheed yes
Sorry to hear that. There is a risk of about 1 in every thousand which is probably what happened. Some arteries are very fragile.
