The medical team at Imam Al-Hujjah Hospital performed a successful surgery for a man in his 50s suffering from heart problems, frequent chest pain, hypertension, and diabetes. Our media department reported that the patient underwent a coronary angiogram which revealed a chronic total occlusion in the patient’s left anterior descending artery (LAD). This condition calls for open-heart surgery, however, a medical team was formed at Imam Al-Hujjah Hospital consisting of cardiologists Ahmed Al-Haydari (Iraq) and Mohamad Dbouk (Lebanon) and they performed a successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using the modern technology available at the hospital. The patient was discharged the next day in good health.
