Successful Heart Procedures Aid Indonesian and Pakistani Pilgrims in Madinah

Saudi Gazette report

RIYADH — The Cardiac Diseases and Surgery Center in Madinah has conducted the initial pair of successful cardiac catheterization procedures for pilgrims this year. Following the operations, both an Indonesian and a Pakistani pilgrim saw their conditions stabilize.

The Madinah Health Cluster reported that the initial case concerned a 77-year-old Indonesian pilgrim with pre-existing health issues such as hypertension, chronic renal failure, and diabetes. Upon admission to the facility due to serious coronary artery blockage, along with symptoms of cardiogenic shock and significant low blood pressure, the patient’s situation was deemed extremely critical.

The health cluster mentioned that an immediate cardiac catheterization was conducted, during which the left circumferential coronary artery was unblocked and two medication-releasing stents were placed. Thereafter, his condition markedly improved, and he departed from the facility in excellent health.

In the second instance, a 60-year-old male pilgrim from Pakistan was found to have coronary artery thrombosis. A timely interventional procedure involving cardiac catheterization was conducted successfully. During this process, two stents were placed within his right coronary artery as well as his anterior descending artery. Ultimately, the patient departed the facility in satisfactory condition.

This is part of the comprehensive medical preparations to serve the guests of God and provide emergency cardiac care. These interventions come as part of the ongoing efforts of the Madinah Health Cluster to provide specialized, high-quality health services to the guests of God, in accordance with the highest international medical standards.
