Saudi German Hospital Dammam performs life-saving
procedure after aortic rupture amid severe complications

11 March 2024- Saudi German Hospital Dammam achieved a significant medical success by
successfully treating a patient who suffered from an aortic rupture following a cardiac stent
perforation.

The critical incident led to the patient experiencing hypotension and impaired vital signs.

Given the complexity of the case, particularly due to the patient's medical history of recurrent brain
thrombosis and impaired kidney function, a transfer to the Saudi German Hospital Dammam was
imperative.

Driven by the "Caring Like Family" motto, Saudi German Hospital Dammam is equipped with
state-of-the-art facilities and a dedicated team of highly qualified medical professionals available
around the clock, ensuring effective management of even the most complex medical conditions.

Upon admission to the hospital, medical experts swiftly directed the patient to the catheterization
room, where the precise location of the stent perforation was identified. Subsequently, a new stent
was successfully implanted to halt the bleeding, facilitating the restoration of normal blood flow
within the patient's body.

Following the procedure, a comprehensive follow-up examination was conducted one week later,
confirming the patient's stable condition.
