Abstract

Objective To evaluate the effect of cardiac stent implantation in the treatment of malignant cardiac stricture. Methods 64 patients with cardiac carcinoma complicated with obstruction treated in our hospital from December 2008 to June 2017 were taken as the research objects. All these patients were given cardiac stent implantation for the treatment of malignant cardiac stricture and followed up. Results Among these 64 patients, 12 patients (18.7%) had no discomfort and visible normal eating (CR) after stent implantation; 48 patients (75%) had different degrees of pain, but they could eat normally (PR), 4 patients were unable to tolerate, but they could be fed with liquid after twice implantation of improved stent (MR+SD), the total effective rate(CR+PR)was 93.8%. Conclusion Cardiac stent implantation which can be used as an important minimally invasive method for the treatment of malignant cardiac stricture, has the advantage of reliable curative effect, small trauma and high safety. Therefore, it it is worthy of clinical application.
