Application of health education based on mobile health education platform for patients after coronary stent implantation / 中华护理杂志

Objective To explore the effects of health education based on mobile platform for patients after coronary stent implantation. Methods Totally 118 patients underwent coronary stent implantation were recruited using convenience sampling method,and divided into the experimental group and the control group by random number table method with 59 cases in each group. The control group received face-to-face health education during hospitalization from nurses,and were followed up at 1 month,3 months and 6 months through phone or outpatient follow-up. The experimental group received health education based on mobile platform. Self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate health behavior and self-efficacy at 1 month,3 months and 6 months for two groups. Results The scores of health questionnaire in the experimental group were better than those in the control group at 1 month,3 months and 6 months,and the difference was statistically significant (P0.05),but at 3 months and 6 months the differences were significant (P<0.001). Conclusion Health education based on mobile health education platform for patients after coronary stent implantation can effectively improve health behavior and self-efficacy,and it is worthy of clinical popularization.

Relationship between the Obstructive Sleep Apnea-hypopnea Syndrome and the Stent Thrombosis / 实用医学杂志

Objective To investigate the relationship between stent thrombosis and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in patients after coronary artery stent implantation (CASI). Methods One hundred and seventeen patients were rolled after CASI, of which 29 suffering from OSAHS were enrolled into the research group, 88 patients without OSAHS were enrolled into the control group. The incidence rate of stent thrombosis between the above two groups was analyzed. Results Three patients suffered stent thrombosis in the research group, with the incidence rate of 10.3%,which was significantly higher than that in the control group, with the incidence rate of 1.10%(P = 0.047). Conclusions After CASI, patients with OSAHS had higher risk of stent thrombosis compared with patients without OSAHS. OSHAS should be considered as a risk factor for stent thrombosis.

A Case of Extremely Very Late Stent Thrombosis 8 Years after Implantation of Drug-Eluting Stent Observed by Intravascular Ultrasound

Drug-eluting stents (DES) are now widely used for patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions. The current major agenda for using DES is very late stent thrombosis (VLST) that occurs beyond 1 year after DES implantation. Although VLST is rare, it is a serious complication that can result in sudden death or myocardial infarction. Until now, there have been only a few case reports of VLST within 7 years. We report a case of a 78-year-old man who presented with an ST segment elevation myocardial infarction due to extremely very late stent thrombosis resulting from a mal-apposed stent and delayed neointimal coverage that occurred 8 years after stent implantation after the cessation of antiplatelet agents for 10 days.

Mental Health Assessment of Coronary Artery Stent Implantation / 中国康复理论与实践

@#Objective To investigate the mental health status of patients with coronary artery stent implantation. Methods Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) was used to evaluate the mental health conditions of 218 patients after coronary artery stent implantation with man-machine conversation and computer evaluation. Results It was found that 48 cases in excellent mental health, accounting for 22.02%; 56 cases in good mental health condition, accounting for 25.69%; 82 cases in normal mental health condition, accounting for 37.61%; and 32 cases in poor mental health, accounting for 14.68%. In addition to the interpersonal factor, hostility and psychosis factors, the other six factors’overall average score was more than 2. More than 50% of the staff scored greater than 3, and their average positive factors were greater than 43 items in somatization, depression, anxiety and fear. Conclusion The patients after coronary artery stent implantation suffered from many psychological problems.

Study on the relationship between health behavior and self-efficacy in patients underwent coronary artery stent implantation / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To investigate health behavior level and self-efficacy in patients underwent coronary artery stent implantation,and to discuss the relationship between health behavior and self-efficacy and to offer proof to the intervention strategy of health behavior.Methods HPLP Ⅱ,self-efficacy questionnaire were used as main tools.106 patients underwent coronary artery stent implantation were investigated.Statistics analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science(SPSS)13.0.Results (1)The score of total HPLPⅡwas 130.08±21.25,the range of that was 84～180.The health behavior level of47.2%patients was general or worse,and that of 52.8%patients was good or better.(2)The score of self-efficacy was 71.37±16.32,the range of thatwas 38～110.(3)There were significant positive relationship in the scores of total HPLP Ⅱ and the six elements,and self-efficacy.The correlation coefficient was 0.389～0.916(P＜0.01).Conclusion The health behavior level of patients underwent coronary artery stent implantation was not in an ideal state.Self-efficacy has a positive effect on health behavior.The importance motivating factor should be attached to nursing practice and education by medical staff,and medical staff should establish and supervise to carry out corresponding intervention measure.

A Randomized Comparison of Cilostazol Versus Ticlopidine Therapy After Elective Coronary Stent Implantaion

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty(PTCA) is a widely acceptable treatment for ischemic heart disease. Restenosis after successful PTCA, which develops in 20~30% of all patients, remains a serious late complication. This study was to evaluate the efficacy of cilostazol for the prevention of stent restenosis compared with ticlopidine. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Fifty three patients underwent coronary stent implantation were divided in to as group A(n=25) receiving 100mg aspirin and 200mg cilostazol and group B(n=28) receiving 100mg asprine and 500mg ticlopidine from Sep 1998 and Feb 1999 at Pusan Paik Hospital, Inje University. Clinical and laboratory evaluations were preformed at regular interval. RESULT: There were no differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. Coronary artery restenosis was observed in 5(20.8%) in group A and 8(26%) in group B respectively, which were not statistically significant (p=NS). Minimal luminal diameter was 2.10+/-0.89mm in group A and 1.93+/-0.65mm in group B (p=NS). Two patients in group A had headache, while 6(21.4%) patients of group B developed side effects including thrombocytopenia in 2 patients, skin rash in 2 patents . There was no cardiac death during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION: Aspirin plus cilostazol may be safer and equally antithrombotic regimen compared results to aspirin plus ticolpidine after elective coronary stent implantation.

Clinical Study for Coronary Artery Stenting

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery stent has been introduced recently to overcome major problems of percutaneous trausluminal coronary angioplasty(PTCA). To evaluate the success rate, complications and predictive factors associated with restenosis in coronary artery stenting, clinical analysis after coronary srtery stent was performed. METHODS: Sixteen patients who underwent coronary artery stent in Chonnam University Hospital beteen Apr. 1992 and Dec. 1993 were observed. The authors analyzed the stent dilivery success, rate complications and restenosis after follow-up coronary angiogram. RESULTS: 1) The palmaz-Schatz stents were implanted in 16 patients(12 male, 4 female, mean age : 53.3 years) and clinical diagnosis of patients were 7 myocardial infarction, 8 unstable angina and one stable angina. Stents were implanted in 10 cases of left anterior descending arteries and 6 cases of right coronary arteries. Three stents were implanted in a patient with long spiral dissection after middle right coronary artery PTCA, single stent was implanted in the other patients. 2) Stent delivery was successful in all cases, but acute stent thrombosis developed just after bail-out procedure for PTCA-induced intimal dissection in myocardial infarction patient who had multivessel lesion and intracoronary thrombus. Subacute stent thrombosis and major bleeding requiring transfusion were not documented. 3) On follow-up coronary angiogram in 10 patients, no restenosis observed in 5 right coronary arterial stents, but restenosis developed in 3 of 5 left anterior descending artery stents. Restenosis was observed in none of 4.0mm stents, two of six 3.5mm stents and one of two 3.0mm stents. 4) Stent restenosis was observed in 3 cases of positive201TI dipyridamole scan which was performed one month after coronary artery stenting. CONCLUSION: Coronary artery stent is a safe and effective in elective procedure. The restenosis rate after intracoronary stent is lower in right coronary artery than left anterior descending artery and larger stent.
