Hearing these questions, how should we educate patients after coronary artery stenting? Let's learn together!
Coronary stenting is a common cardiac interventional procedure used to treat coronary artery disease. Certain patient precautions are required after the procedure to ensure the outcome and patient recovery.

1. Keep resting: After the procedure, patients need to rest sufficiently and avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical activities. Usually, doctors will advise patients to stay in bed for a period of time after the surgery until the body gradually recovers.      
2. Dietary regulation: After the surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's dietary advice, avoiding high-fat and high-sugar foods, and consuming more vegetables and fruits and low-fat foods to maintain a balanced and healthy diet.      
3. Regular follow-ups: After coronary stenting, patients need to have regular follow-ups to check the effect of the surgery and their physical recovery. Doctors will formulate a follow-up plan according to the patient's specific situation to ensure that the patient's physical condition is monitored and adjusted in a timely manner.        
4. Medication: Post-operative patients need to follow the doctor's instructions and standardize the use of medications, including anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents. These drugs play an important role in preventing thrombosis and protecting the stent, and patients need to strictly follow the doctor's instructions and not change the medication program.              
5. Pay attention to wound care: After surgery, patients need to pay attention to wound care, keep the wound dry and clean to avoid infection and pain. If there are any abnormalities such as redness, swelling, oozing, fever, etc., patients should seek medical treatment in time.       
6. Avoiding tobacco and alcohol: After surgery, patients need to quit smoking and drinking completely, especially tobacco has very serious damage to blood vessels, which can easily lead to thrombosis and recurrence of cardiovascular diseases.     
7. Psychological care: After surgery, patients need to face the disease positively, maintain an optimistic state of mind, and avoid emotional fluctuations and excessive pressure. You can communicate with family and friends, participate in psychological counseling and other ways to relieve psychological pressure and promote recovery.      
8. Reasonable Exercise: Post-operative patients need to do appropriate exercise, such as walking, jogging, yoga, etc., according to the doctor's advice, which can help promote blood circulation, enhance cardiopulmonary function and improve body resistance.      
9. Regular medical checkups: Post-coronary stenting patients need to undergo regular cardiac ultrasound and electrocardiograms to detect and deal with cardiac problems in time and maintain good health.    
10. Pay attention to the change of condition: After the surgery, patients need to pay close attention to the change of their condition, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitation and other symptoms, and should seek medical treatment in time if there is any abnormality.
