Understanding the Procedure of a Heart Ring Attachment and the Risks

Heart ring or stent is a small tube that plays an important role in overcoming the blockage of blood vessels in the heart. This tool is installed in a blocked blood vessel so that blood flow remains smooth. Installation of heart ring is usually done on patients with coronary heart disease or people who have blocked arteries due to plaque buildup. Generally, the buildup of plaque in blood vessels is caused by cholesterol or other substances attached to the walls of blood vessels.

Heart Ring Installation Procedure

In making a heart ring, the doctor will initially install a heart catheter. A catheter is inserted into a vein from the groin or arm. After the catheter has entered, a guide cable is then inserted to guide the balloon and ring to the problematic area. The balloon in a deflated state is placed on the outside of the guide cable and in the outer layer will be placed a ring or stent. Once inside, the balloon is expanded, so that the ring also expands. Thus, the arterial cavity that was previously blocked due to plaque buildup becomes wider. After the ring is attached, the balloon is deflated again and ejected. In general, the heart ring installation process only takes 1-3 hours. However, during the preparation and recovery process, patients need to be hospitalized for several days in the hospital.

Treatment after placing the heart ring

After the heart ring is inserted, patients are advised to drink plenty of water. To overcome the pain of the incision, the doctor will give pain relievers. In addition, anticoagulant drugs may also be given to prevent the formation of blood clots or clots. During the recovery period, patients are asked to limit all physical activity, including driving a motorized vehicle. Although allowed to do daily activities, doctors recommend to do it slowly and gradually, at least for one week after undergoing surgery.

Risk of Installing Heart Ring

Heart ring insertion carries a number of risks, as do other surgical procedures. Risks or complications that may be found include:
  • Blood clotting
  • Heart attack
  • Allergy medication used during the recovery process
  • Blood vessel infection
  • Narrowing blood vessels again
In addition, there are also complications that occur less frequently, such as strokes and seizures. However, the choice not to undergo heart ring surgery will generally have far more fatal effects than some of the risks above. Because, narrowing of blood vessels that are not handled properly will ultimately have a more serious impact, can even cause death. In order to get a complete picture of the heart ring installation procedure, patients are advised to consult a cardiologist. It is important to prepare everything needed, including physical and mental preparation before, during, and after the installation of the heart ring.

Media Provision of breast milk for infants

So far, many mothers think that using a bottle of milk through a pacifier is the only medium for breastfeeding babies. In fact, there are many media for breastfeeding other than breast milk that can increase the chances of success for exclusive breastfeeding. Breast milk is the best food for babies. Breast milk is easily digested by the baby's intestine, and contains complete nutrition and antibodies (immune-forming substances), so as to prevent the baby from various diseases. However, there are times when a mother cannot breastfeed a baby directly, either because of a problem in the breast or because it is not always with the baby. In this condition, breastfeeding mothers can continue to give milk by milking and storing breast milk to be given to the baby later.
