(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) 1 July 2024- In an extraordinary display of medical
expertise, Saudi German Hospital-Aseer saved a patient with a blocked mitral valve caused
by severe calcifications and a blood clot. The patient also suffered from acute pulmonary
oedema, severe heart muscle weakness and atrial tachycardia.
The precise diagnosis was verified by conducting a Transesophageal Echocardiogram,
followed by catheterization, which revealed that the mitral valve was not operating optimally
due to the presence of calcifications. A highly skilled medical team comprising cardiologists,
cardiac surgeons, anaesthesiologists, and a blood bank was promptly assembled. It was
decided that immediate surgical intervention was required to preserve the patient’s life.
