Medical milestone at King Abdullah Hospital
King Hussein Medical Center in Jordan has successfully employed the Penumobra Lightning® 12 computerized system for pulmonary thrombus removal via catheter for the first time. This advanced technological system distinguishes between the thrombus and the open blood vessel, reducing blood loss during the procedure. Two serious cases were treated: the first involved a 35-year-old woman with a large, life-threatening pulmonary embolism, who improved after thrombus removal and was transferred in good condition; the second was a 53-year-old woman with pulmonary clots and severe brain hemorrhage, in whom the thrombi were successfully removed, and a filter was placed to reduce the risk of recurrent clots. This achievement reflects the hospital’s commitment to keeping pace with global medical developments and enhancing treatment options for critical cases.
