How many stents can be placed at most for cerebral vascular occlusion?
Generally speaking, there is no fixed maximum number of stents that can be placed for cerebrovascular occlusion. Typically, two to three stents can be implanted for cerebrovascular blockage. The specific analysis is as follows:
Cerebrovascular occlusion refers to insufficient blood flow to the brain caused by blood clots or narrowing of the blood vessel walls in the brain. Stent implantation is one method used to treat cerebrovascular occlusion, in which stents are inserted to expand the narrowed vessels and restore cerebral blood supply. The number of stents implanted is not the sole factor determining treatment success. Formulation of a treatment plan must take into account multiple factors, including the location and severity of the lesion, as well as the patient's overall health condition. If the patient's condition is relatively mild, two stents may be sufficient; if symptoms are more severe, up to three stents might be placed. However, increasing the number of stents does not necessarily significantly improve treatment outcomes. Excessive stent implantation may increase treatment risks and the likelihood of complications.
The number of stents should be determined based on the individual patient’s specific circumstances. During treatment, patients should also actively cooperate with their physicians, maintain healthy lifestyle habits, and a positive mindset to promote recovery.
