Introduction

If a patient experiences acute myocardial infarction, and coronary angiography or precise coronary CTA reveals severe stenotic lesions in the three main coronary arteries and their branch vessels, along with evidence of myocardial ischemia confirmed by other auxiliary examinations, then implantation of a cardiac stent can relieve the stenosis, restore blood supply, and prevent recurrent myocardial ischemia.

In general, whether a cardiac stent is appropriate depends on the patient's specific condition. If a patient experiences acute myocardial infarction, it is usually necessary to promptly open the blocked blood vessel, and in such cases, a cardiac stent procedure is required. However, if the degree of coronary artery blockage is mild and does not meet surgical criteria, a cardiac stent procedure is typically unnecessary.

When a patient suffers from acute myocardial infarction, diagnostic tests such as coronary angiography or precise coronary CTA may reveal severe narrowing in the three main coronary arteries and their branches. Additional tests may also confirm evidence of myocardial ischemia. In such situations, implanting a cardiac stent can relieve the narrowing, restore blood flow, and help prevent recurrent myocardial ischemia.

If the degree of coronary artery blockage is not severe and does not meet surgical indications, and if the patient has coagulation disorders, undergoing a cardiac stent procedure may increase the risk of bleeding; therefore, surgery is generally not recommended.

It is recommended to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits and ensure daily intake of adequate high-quality protein and dairy products. Avoid fried foods, spicy and irritating foods, and those high in sugar and fat, such as animal organs, fatty meats, cream, egg yolks, and fried foods.

Can a pregnant woman undergo an immediate cesarean section after receiving a tetanus vaccine?

In cases of maternal or fetal emergencies (such as fetal distress, placental abruption, or risk of uterine rupture), cesarean section must be performed immediately to save lives, even if the tetanus vaccine was just administered. Under close monitoring, surgery can proceed. In such situations, ensuring the safety of both mother and baby is the top priority. The components of the tetanus vaccine are safe and will not cause serious adverse reactions due to surgical procedures, nor will they interfere with the surgery.

Does poor blood circulation affect vaccines?

If the individual only has mild local circulatory issues (such as cold hands and feet), without serious underlying conditions (such as severe heart failure or peripheral vascular disease), and with normal overall metabolism and immune function, vaccination is still appropriate. The immune system can properly recognize vaccine components and produce antibodies. Mild circulation problems will not impair vaccine effectiveness nor worsen the circulatory abnormalities.

Is it safe to get a vaccine shot if you have steel in your waist?

Steel plates are considered internal implants, made of stable material that does not react with vaccine components nor interfere with the immune system's response to vaccines. As long as recovery from lumbar surgery is progressing well, without pain, infection, swelling, or other abnormalities, and overall health condition meets requirements, vaccination can proceed normally—simply ensure the injection site avoids the area of the previous lumbar surgery.

Why is chemotherapy required after major cancer surgeries?

In general, patients with cancers such as lung cancer, gastric cancer, and breast cancer often require chemotherapy after surgery due to surgical trauma and stress, decreased immune function, minimal residual disease, active cell proliferation, and increased potential for metastasis. If any discomfort occurs, seek timely medical evaluation and treatment at a正规 hospital. In daily life, it is important to maintain a balanced diet with adequate protein and vitamin intake, and to follow a regular sleep schedule, avoiding staying up late.

Patients should seek medical attention promptly if symptoms occur, and receive appropriate treatment based on the underlying cause. After surgery, patients should follow the principle of eating small, frequent meals, choose low-fat, high-protein foods, and engage in light physical activity after meals.

Can someone who has had surgery for myocardial infarction receive the herpes vaccine?

In general, whether patients who have undergone surgery for myocardial infarction can receive the herpes zoster vaccine should be determined based on a comprehensive assessment of postoperative recovery and cardiac function stability. If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical consultation is recommended. Vaccination against herpes zoster in post-myocardial infarction patients requires individualized evaluation, with emphasis on cardiac function stability and postoperative recovery status. Recombinant vaccines are considered safer than live attenuated vaccines.
