The emergency department at Imam Al-Hujjah Hospital received a case of a woman in her 50s suffering from acute heart failure. The ER doctor diagnosed and referred the patient to the cardiology center where Dr. Sami Saad, interventional cardiologist from the republic of Lebanon, discovered that she had a total coronary occlusion.
Dr. Sami stated: “We opened the artery and performed emergency stent placement surgery using one balloon and one mesh.”
He added: “The patient also had diabetes and hypertension which made her case rather challenging, however, the surgery was successful and the patient is now in a stable condition.”
