Is the renal artery stent lifelong?

Most people will follow the doctor's advice and take the most conservative treatment when treating diseases. Because kidneys are more important to us, a renal artery stent can be placed in the early stages of kidney failure to help the kidneys work and extend their lifespan. However, this surgery also has certain risks. So is the renal artery stent lifelong?

Even coronary angiography performed before heart stent surgery has certain risks, such as contrast agent allergy and postoperative renal insufficiency. Generally, there will be a preoperative notice and informed consent form before surgery, which can be read. For example, coronary artery perforation, rupture, acute coronary artery occlusion, vagal nerve reflex occurring during surgery, hematoma at the arterial puncture site, arteriovenous fistula, etc. After stent implantation, re-occlusion or even stent detachment may occur, cardiac arrest may occur, and massive bleeding may be caused by anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents.

Although there are many possible risks, the most common problems in clinical practice are local hematoma and vagal nerve reflex, which are generally not serious and serious complications are extremely rare. Also, because coronary angiography and stent implantation are currently performed in hospitals with very mature technical conditions and under the guidance of experts, the risks of stent surgery are still extremely small.

For specific situations, you still need to consult a doctor so that you can get safer and more accurate information.

Although aneurysms may rupture, they are mostly located in the renal parenchyma, so there will not be a large amount of bleeding in a short period of time. However, there will be severe pain in the lower back or upper abdomen, so if it occurs in time, it can be surgically removed. So don't worry too much, just pay attention to the upper abdomen and lower back to avoid impact. If it does not reach the point of shock, it will not be dangerous for a long time, but if there is pain in the kidney area, you can seek medical attention in time. As mentioned in the last reply, it can be observed at present, and an ultrasound examination can be performed every three months to observe the changes in its size. If it increases significantly or has other abnormal changes, it can be treated surgically. If the arteries entering and exiting the tumor are found, then these two blood vessels can be ligated surgically. If this is not found, then trial clamping or nephrectomy can be performed. Many people carry it for life without disease or complications. Because it is a benign tumor, it grows slowly. .

All surgeries have risks. Coronary angiography itself has certain risks. Before heart stent surgery, there will be a preoperative notification and informed consent form, and the doctor will tell you in detail. For example, allergy to contrast agents and postoperative renal insufficiency; for example, coronary artery perforation and rupture, acute coronary artery occlusion, vagal nerve reflex occurring during surgery, hematoma at the arterial puncture site, arteriovenous fistula, etc. After stent implantation, re-occlusion or even stent detachment may occur, cardiac arrest may occur, and massive bleeding may be caused by anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents. At first glance, there seem to be so many things, but in fact, the most common problems in clinical practice are local hematoma and vagal nerve reflex. Generally, these are not serious problems and serious complications are extremely rare. This is because coronary angiography and stent implantation are currently carried out in hospitals with very mature technical conditions and are performed under the guidance of experts. The risk is minimal. Don't worry too much.
