Al Noor Hospital Corrects Vascular Defect
The vascular surgery team at Al-Noor Specialized Hospital in Mecca successfully, in collaboration with the thoracic surgery team, performed a rare procedure to correct a congenital defect in the blood vessels, known as an anomalous right subclavian artery, in a patient with Down syndrome. The patient was suffering from severe pressure on the esophagus, which caused chronic swallowing difficulties, affecting nutrition and quality of life. The operation lasted four hours, during which the artery was rerouted and corrected inside the chest while ensuring safe blood flow. This was the first such procedure at the hospital. The surgery was successful, and the patient recovered and was discharged in excellent health, reflecting the efficiency of the medical teams and the integrated specialties in handling rare and complex cases.
