Half an hour later, Zhou Can finished treating the patient's other four coronary segments with lesions.
During the procedure, he acquired a new skill.
In the past, whether it was inserting a stent or a metal coil, the most he could do was accurately place it in the intended blood vessel or tissue location.
Just now, while operating, he could clearly feel the stent expanding optimally.
Inserting a stent involves overcoming puncture, guiding the wire from the femoral artery to the heart's major vessels, passing through the diseased segment, and precisely placing the stent, along with one extremely important technical parameter.
That is the choice of size and length for the stent.
Usually, based on different vascular segments, doctors can choose the appropriate vascular stent based on their surgical experience.
Choosing too large a stent can easily cause the vessel to rupture or lead to other unexpected problems.
