Saving a patient's life from total coronary artery blockage

With the grace of God, the cardiology and cardiac catheterization team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in the Knowledge Economic City in Madinah were able to save the life of a patient suffering from severe narrowing of the coronary arteries.

The patient attended the cardiology department in the outpatient clinics and was suffering from chest pain and difficulty breathing. He explained to the doctor that he had had heart stents installed before in another hospital, but he still suffers from the same symptoms. The results are that he suffers from an incomplete heart attack, which calls for an urgent catheterization to open the coronary arteries to avoid a total blockage that may lead to cardiac arrest or severe weakness of the heart muscle.

Immediately, the cardiologist made the decision to perform an urgent exploratory cardiac catheterization, which showed severe narrowing as a result of the presence of multiple calcifications in the three main coronary arteries. Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.

Therefore, the medical team decided to make a high-risk therapeutic catheter using the retaliator technology to dismantle calcification, which is one of the advanced devices that works using a diamond drill that rotates at a high speed to break up the calcification and open the arteries. Stents were installed to keep the arteries open and prevent clots from recurring.

  Then the patient was transferred to a special room to receive full health care and to check on his condition and follow him closely for three days.

The patient left the hospital to lead a normal life, and now he continues in the heart clinic for the rehabilitation period, and he is constantly improving.

It is worth noting that this type of operation depends on modern medical technology, which is in line with the vision of Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company in attracting competencies and delicate sub-specialties and through the use of the latest technologies and advanced medical equipment in this field
