Revolutionary laser technology saves patient from
mitral valve mass at SGH Aseer

26 June 2024- In an unprecedented medical achievement, Saudi German Hospital
Aseer demonstrated cutting-edge healthcare excellence by successfully diagnosing
and treating a patient suffering from a severe seizure-inducing mitral valve mass
caused by a bacterial infection, using MALDI-TOF, a revolutionary laser
technology.

The expert doctors’ decision to utilise MALDI-TOF saved the patient days of
waiting in comparison to traditional diagnostic processes.

Rapid identification of the microbe, achieved with 90 per cent 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 exemplifies the ethos of “Caring Like Family”
embodied by Saudi German Hospital Aseer, where the Kingdom’s best doctors
provide compassionate care, leveraging state-of-the-art facilities, technologies, and
a strategic partnership with Mayo Clinic.
