Jaber Hospital Performs First Catheter Aortic Valve in Middle East
A medical team at Jaber Hospital in Kuwait successfully performed the first-ever procedure in the Middle East to replace the aortic valve via catheterization through the carotid artery in the neck. The patient was in his seventies and suffering from valve stenosis. The procedure was completed in a short time, and the patient was able to leave the hospital after two days. The operation was successfully documented and transmitted live via satellite during the Cardiac and Vascular Catheter Treatment Solutions Conference, reflecting the level of progress in Kuwait’s heart treatment services. This achievement is considered a national milestone that adds to the expertise of Kuwaiti medical staff in the field of cardiac catheterization and valve procedures. It serves as a safe and effective alternative for those unable to undergo open-heart surgery.
