Why It Matters

冠心病治療中,是否一定需要置放支架是臨床與病人關心的議題。新竹臺大分院心臟內科團隊透過冠狀動脈血流儲備分數(FFR)導向治療策略,實證精準醫療決策在真實臨床情境中的長期安全性與有效性。

〔記者蔡彰盛/新竹報導〕冠心病治療是否一定需要置放支架,是臨床與病人關心的議題。新竹臺大分院心臟內科團隊透過冠狀動脈血流儲備分數(FFR)導向治療策略,實證精準醫療決策在真實臨床情境中的長期安全性與有效性。團隊以1名病人長達6年的追蹤成果,證實在功能性評估正常的情況下,藥物治療可穩定控制病情,成功避免不必要的支架植入。

71歲男性病人於2019年4月因急性ST節段上升型心肌梗塞就醫,當時接受左前降枝動脈支架植入手術。出院3個月後,再次接受心導管檢查顯示右冠狀動脈中段約70%狹窄,新竹臺大分院心臟內科醫療團隊進一步安排FFR評估,測得數值為0.91,屬於正常範圍。

請繼續往下閱讀...

依據FFR結果,團隊評估該狹窄血管對心肌血流影響有限,決定以藥物治療取代支架植入,並持續優化抗血小板、降血脂與血壓控制等治療策略。至2025年追蹤檢查顯示,該血管狀況穩定,無明顯惡化,病人未出現心絞痛症狀,日常生活功能維持良好。

FFR 是目前評估冠狀動脈狹窄是否影響心肌灌流的重要指標,透過測量血管在最大充血狀態下的血流壓力差,提供單靠血管造影難以判斷的功能性資訊。當FFR大於0.80,代表血流供應充足,病人可安全接受藥物治療。

新竹臺大分院心臟內科臨床經驗顯示,導入FFR評估可有效避免過度治療,約可減少 30–40% 非必要的支架置放,降低病人承擔植入物相關風險,也提升整體醫療資源使用效率。

新竹臺大分院心臟內科團隊強調,精準評估的目的並非否定支架治療,而是為病人選擇最適合的處置方式。最優化藥物治療在穩定型冠心病管理中,扮演關鍵角色,包括抗血小板藥物預防血栓形成、降血脂藥物穩定動脈斑塊、控制血壓減輕心臟負荷,均有助於降低長期心血管事件風險。

新竹臺大分院心臟血管科呂忠穎醫師表示,這項長期追蹤案例清楚顯示,現代心臟醫學的核心不在於「能不能做」,而在於「該不該做」。當功能性評估結果顯示血流供應充足,透過完整藥物治療與追蹤,不需要置放支架同樣能獲得穩定且安全的治療成效。

呂忠穎指出,支架是重要且救命的治療工具,但醫師的責任在於避免不必要的介入,讓每一項醫療決策都建立在科學證據與病人最大利益之上。

The CDC announced 87 new cases of severe illness and 30 deaths from influenza last week, including the tragic death of a 2-year-old boy in Central China who was infected with type A influenza and developed acute encephalitis. There were 138,654 outpatient and emergency department visits last week, and it is expected that the epidemic will begin to decline in mid-October.

If high blood pressure does not meet the standard, measurement methods and medication use need to be checked. Experts call for evaluation of potential causes.

A 62-year-old man took two antihypertensive drugs but his blood pressure was still not up to standard. The doctor reminded that he should check the blood pressure measurement method, medication compliance and living habits, and evaluate potential factors such as aldosterone overdose. The hypertension control rate in Taiwan is only about 21%. Relevant societies and pharmaceutical companies have signed a memorandum of cooperation to focus on improving the quality of care for patients with uncontrolled blood pressure.

Colorectal cancer risk reduced by 58% after appendectomy

Research published at the 2026 Annual Clinical Meeting of the American College of Surgeons showed that patients with acute appendicitis who underwent appendectomy had a 58% lower relative risk of subsequent colorectal cancer than those who received antibiotic treatment alone. The study analyzed data from more than 30,000 patients and found that the subsequent cancer rate was 0.7% in the surgery group and 1.7% in the antibiotic group. The researchers pointed out that possible mechanisms include pathological examination to detect underlying lesions, removal of inflamed tissue, and effects on intestinal flora and immune environment, but emphasized that the results do not mean that all patients with appendicitis should choose surgery to prevent cancer.
