University of Jordan performs complex heart surgery
A medical team at the University of Jordan Hospital successfully performed a complex open-heart surgery on a fifty-year-old patient who was suffering from a major dissection of the aortic artery extending from the aortic arch to the ascending aorta and involving the aortic valve. Her medical history included a previous aneurysm and a retinal transplant. The operation took approximately seven hours and was performed using advanced techniques, including lowering the body temperature to 20°C and stopping circulation. The damaged section of the aorta was carefully excised and replaced while preserving the aortic valve. This surgery is considered a medical achievement, reflecting the hospital's advanced cardiac surgery services and high level of expertise in handling complex cases.
