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.
