Can you still operate after myocardial infarction?

Surgery after myocardial infarction depends on a variety of factors such as the time, location, extent of infarction and the overall health of the patient. Surgery may be considered when reinfarction or infarction extension, severe complications, ineffective drug therapy or other heart diseases are combined. In general, surgery may be considered for the following conditions: 1. Reinfarction or extension of infarction: If reinfarction or extension of infarction occurs after myocardial infarction, surgery may be required to remove thrombus or repair damaged myocardium. 2. Serious complications: Severe complications may occur after myocardial infarction, such as ventricular septal perforation, papillary muscle rupture, heart rupture, etc., which can be repaired by surgical treatment.3. Drug therapy is ineffective: If drug therapy fails to control symptoms or improve heart function after myocardial infarction, surgical treatment may be a better option.4. Other heart diseases: If the patient also has other heart diseases, such as severe aortic stenosis or insufficiency, ventricular aneurysm, etc., surgical treatment can solve these problems at the same time. It should be noted that surgical treatment after myocardial infarction is at a higher risk and needs to be performed under the evaluation and guidance of a professional doctor. Before surgery, doctors will conduct detailed examinations and evaluations of patients, including heart function, coronary artery disease, surgical risks, etc., to determine the best treatment plan. In addition, for patients after myocardial infarction, postoperative rehabilitation is also very important. Patients need to follow the doctor's advice for medication, diet adjustment, exercise rehabilitation, etc. to promote the recovery of heart function and prevent the occurrence of reinfarction. In short, whether surgery can be performed after myocardial infarction needs to be evaluated according to specific circumstances. Patients and family members should fully communicate with doctors to understand the risks and benefits of surgery and make decisions according to doctor's advice.
