Jordan University Hospital Excels in Pediatric Heart Surgery
The Pediatric Heart Surgery team at Jordan University Hospital successfully performed open-heart surgery on a five-year-old child to treat an obstruction in the exit of the left ventricle caused by a fibrous membrane beneath the aortic valve. The procedure involved removing the fibrous membrane responsible for the obstruction and excising part of the enlarged heart muscle to widen the outlet and improve blood flow, which helps to ease the strain on the heart and enhance its long-term function. Additionally, modern protocols were implemented to wean the child quickly from the ventilator to reduce complications and accelerate recovery. This achievement reflects the advanced level of the congenital heart defect treatment center at the hospital, supported by a multidisciplinary team and international partnerships.
