In the case of cardiac diseases, there are devices that are used to treat some patients, depending on the condition and severity of it. One of the most innovative is the stent (vascular endoprosthesis) or the intracoronary prosthetic device that is used for myocardial infarctions, known as coronary heart attacks.
The doctor Héctor affirms that “a myocardial infarction is when an artery of the coronary artery is taped and its coronary muscle is pierced with oxygen, and the death of that part of the coronary artery. There are so many medications that can be used as therapy for myocardial infarction. However, the way in which the maneuvers of the stents have been revolutionized is that there is a device that can stabilize or destroy the area where the entrance is shortened, restoring the oxygen supply ”.
