A woman in her sixties attended the cardiology department and cardiac catheterization clinics at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh, transferred from a medical center, suffering from shortness of breath and chest pain when exerting effort.

The medical team in the Cardiology Department, under the supervision of Dr. Abdullah Al-Khudair, a consultant cardiologist and cardiac catheter, studied the case and performed all the required medical examinations. It was found that there was severe stenosis of the aortic valve..

This operation is relatively recent and was performed without the need for general anesthesia, and thanks to God, the operation was successful and the patient was able to walk 6 hours after the procedure and returned to her home the next day of the operation to lead her normal life normally.

This type of operation is one of the relatively new and most advanced operations and depends on medical skills and expertise, which is in line with the vision of the Mouwasat Medical Services Company in attracting competencies and delicate subspecialties and providing the latest technologies and medical equipment in this field.

Jubail – Mouwasat Hospital 

Mouwasat Hospital in Jubail continues to strengthen its position as one of the leading medical institutions in the region by providing advanced healthcare services that rely on cutting-edge medical technologies. Among its recent achievements are life-saving interventions performed through catheter-based procedures and interventional radiology, eliminating the need for open surgical operations. 

Life-Saving Intervention for a Patient with Severe Bleeding Caused by a Renal Tumor-Related Aneurysm 

The medical team successfully treated a patient suffering from severe internal bleeding resulting from an aneurysmal dilation of blood vessels associated with a tumor in the left kidney. 
The case required urgent intervention, which was performed under local anesthesia using advanced interventional radiology techniques. 

The procedure involved the precise embolization of the arteries feeding the aneurysmal lesion, which resulted in:

  • Complete cessation of bleeding 
  • Stabilization of the patient’s condition 
  • Safe discharge from the hospital after noticeable improvement 

Another Success: Treating a Complex Case of Acute Venous Thrombosis 

In a related achievement, the hospital recorded another successful intervention for a patient suffering from acute thrombosis in the pelvic and lower limb veins, a condition that poses serious risks if not managed promptly. 

Using the latest interventional radiology technologies, the medical team performed catheter-directed venous thrombectomy, which contributed to:

  • Significant improvement in blood flow 
  • Rapid stabilization of the patient’s clinical condition 
  • Prevention of further complications 

Integrated Interventional Radiology Services at Mouwasat Hospital in Jubail 

These accomplishments reflect the high level of integration between the hospital’s specialized departments, as well as the:

Riyadh – Mouwasat Hospital 

Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh received a patient referred from another hospital in the city who was suffering from rectal bleeding and a suspected bowel obstruction caused by an advanced cancerous tumor located in the upper rectum. Following an urgent assessment, the patient was admitted for the necessary laboratory tests and imaging studies. 

Evaluation of the Rectal Tumor 

A coordinated evaluation was conducted between the General Surgery Department and the Oncology Department to determine the optimal treatment plan. After reviewing the diagnostic results, the medical team decided to proceed with a surgical intervention led by: Dr. Ahmed Abdel Fattah Habib – Consultant of General Surgery & Oncology, with the assistance of Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Hindawi – Specialist in General Surgery.

The patient was then prepared for a precise laparoscopic surgical procedure targeting the affected section of the colon and rectum. 

Laparoscopic Resection of the Rectal Tumor 

The entire procedure was performed using advanced laparoscopic surgical techniques and included:

  • Resection of the lower sigmoid colon and upper rectum 
  • Colon-to-rectum anastomosis (reconnection) 
  • Radical lymph node dissection 

This complex operation required a high level of surgical expertise due to the tumor’s advanced stage and its presence in a sensitive anatomical region. 

Postoperative Recovery 

By the grace of God, the surgery was completed successfully, and the patient was discharged in good health. 
He will continue to be monitored through follow-up visits in both the Surgery Clinic and the Oncology Clinic to ensure the completion of his treatment plan according to the highest medical standards. 

Mouwasat’s Commitment to Advanced Medical Care 

This operation is considered one of the most complex laparoscopic procedures that require specialized expertise and advanced surgical technologies. 
This success aligns with Mouwasat Hospital Riyadh’s commitment to providing:

  • State-of-the-art surgical techniques 
  • Highly qualified medical professionals 
  • Advanced healthcare services that ensure the highest standards of safety and quality for patients
