18 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities will usher in the price reduction of coronary stents. Do you know the purpose of this product?

The nationwide collection of coronary stents has been implemented in Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning and other 18 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. Patients in these places will be able to use coronary stents at reduced prices, and other provinces will gradually collect results. It is reported that about 6.5438+0.0000 patients with coronary heart disease are implanted with cardiac stents every year in China, and the average price of coronary stents has dropped from 6.5438+0.3 million yuan to around 700 yuan, which will greatly reduce the burden of medical treatment for patients.

It's a good thing to reduce the price, but many people will wonder why you have reduced it so much at once. Dare you use such a cheap one? In fact, this time, it was the national team and medical representatives who negotiated. The price reduction is made of domestic stents, and the quality is not much different from that of imported stents. Moreover, the national team purchases with quantity, which is one of the advantages of negotiation, so the price will drop so much. For patients, this is undoubtedly a good thing, and you don't have to worry about quality, so you can use it with confidence.

So what's the use of coronary stents? Has the function of dredging arterial blood vessels, and can be used for treating various diseases. In this regard, I have the following views:

1. Coronary stent with the function of dredging arterial blood vessels is a common medical instrument in cardiac interventional surgery, which has the function of dredging arterial blood vessels. The main materials are stainless steel, nickel-titanium alloy or cobalt-chromium alloy. It first appeared in 1980s, and experienced the development of metal stents, drug-coated stents and bioabsorbable stents.

Second, it is used to treat various diseases, such as coronary heart disease, folding acute myocardial infarction, folding unstable angina pectoris, folding fatigue angina pectoris, tetralogy of Fallot, folding complex congenital heart disease and so on. During the treatment, the doctor first extends the extremely thin catheter through the blood vessel to the artery stenosis; Then, use an inflatable rubber balloon to open the narrow part; Finally, the artery stent is supported at the dilated artery stenosis to prevent it from retracting. After all the catheters were withdrawn, the arterial stent remained at the dilated arterial stenosis.
