successes in advanced cardiac procedures

The CardioScience Department at Saudi German Hospital (SGH) Dammam made significant
achievements in advanced cardiac procedures. The department successfully completed a
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) since the launch of the service at the beginning of
2024.
Additionally, the successful completion of the Ampella-guided high-risk percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI) is a testament to the department’s capabilities. The department successfully
performed cryoablations for atrial fibrillation since initiating the service. These milestones have
been achieved under the expert leadership of Dr. Mohamed Shahtout, Dr. Hamed Al Ghamdi,
and Dr. Rami Abu Raad, whose guidance has been pivotal in driving these advancements.
Dr. Mohamed Shahtout, Dr. Hamed Al Ghamdi, and Dr. Rami Abu Raad remarked: “These
accomplishments not only reflect our commitment to advancing cardiac care but also mirror
our ethos of ‘Caring Like Family,’ as we strive to deliver the highest standard of care with
compassion and dedication,” “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated and highly
professional cardiology team for their exceptional efforts and unwavering commitment. We
express our profound appreciation to the higher administration for their immense support, and
to all hospital departments — both medical and administrative — whose outstanding
cooperation has been instrumental in achieving these exceptional milestones.”

These achievements underscore the department’s commitment to advancing cardiac care and
improving patient outcomes through innovative treatments and collaborative excellence.
