Makkah Medical Performs Advanced Heart Stent
King Abdulaziz Medical City in Mecca successfully performed the first WATCHMAN FLX PRO left atrial appendage closure using catheterization on a patient suffering from atrial fibrillation, without the need for open surgery, and the procedure was successful. This procedure came after hesitation in using anticoagulants due to the risk of severe and recurrent bleeding. The case was carefully evaluated, and the left atrial appendage was closed using advanced technology, which reduces the risk of stroke and spares the patient from major surgical risks. This technique is considered a modern procedure for patients who are at high risk of bleeding and require alternative solutions for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.
