Revolutionary Laser Technology Saves Patient from Mitral
Valve Mass at Saudi German Hospital Aseer

30 May 2024- In an unprecedented medical achievement, Saudi German Hospital

Aseer demonstrated cutting-edge healthcare excellence with the successful
employment of MALDI-TOF, a revolutionary laser technology, to diagnose and treat
a patient suffering from a severe mitral valve mass caused by a bacterial infection,
alongside seizures.

The doctors' decision to utilize MALDI-TOF, thanks to their expertise, saved the
patient days of waiting for traditional diagnostic results.

A rapid identification of the microbe, achieved with 90% accuracy within hours,

allowed the doctors to swiftly initiate treatment with a targeted drug protocol,
ultimately leading to the patient's recovery.

This patient’s remarkable journey embodies the “Caring Like Family” ethos at Saudi
German Hospital Aseer, where the Kingdom’s best doctors provide compassionate
care, leveraging state-of-the-art facilities and technologies and partnership with

Mayo Clinic.
