The Emergency Department at Imam Al-Hujjah Hospital received a woman in her 70s suffering from a heart attack, with chronic hypertension, diabetes, and renal problems. The patient’s medical examination revealed that she had a total occlusion of the right coronary artery, plaque buildup, and narrowing in the left coronary artery. Interventional cardiologist Sami Saad (Lebanon) stated: “We performed balloon angioplasty and stent placement to open the right artery. Because the patient has kidney problems, we decided to treat her left artery next month when she’s in a stable state.” The patient was discharged a day after her surgery in good health, and Dr. Sami Saad will continue to follow up on her health condition.
