Hospital saves a 50-year-old patient

A medical team succeeded for the first time in East Jeddah Hospital in a rare procedure of its kind to save the life of a fifty-year-old patient who was suffering from cirrhosis of the liver and esophageal varices and who had frequent bleeding that poses a threat to her life. The case was done in the interventional radiology and catheterization unit in the hospital by Dr. Ahmed Suleiman, a consultant interventional radiologist and vascular catheter, with the help of the hospital’s anesthesia team.

And by the grace of God, the interventional catheterization was successful, and the patient was discharged the next day and she is in good health.
