Life-Saving Surgery for Indonesian Hajj Pilgrim in Madinah
In a race against time, medical staff at Madinah’s Cardiac Diseases and Surgery Center of Madinah successfully performed open-heart surgery on a courageous Indonesian Hajj pilgrim.
The Madinah Health Cluster revealed that the man, a resilient individual in his 60s, arrived at the center’s ER gasping for air and clutching his chest in agony. A series of medical examinations uncovered the grim reality that he had suffered a severe cardiac stroke. Further investigations using a diagnostic catheter unveiled the presence of life-threatening blockages in not one, not two, but three coronary arteries.
Undeterred by the complexity of the situation, the skilled medical team leaped into action and swiftly conducted a high-stakes open-heart surgery, skillfully replacing the damaged arteries with fresh ones sourced from the patient’s own chest and leg.
Following the successful operation, the brave pilgrim was carefully transferred to the intensive care unit for close monitoring and later moved to the inpatient department for comprehensive rehabilitation. With a clean bill of health, he was joyfully discharged from the center, all set to resume his sacred Hajj pilgrimage with renewed vigor and gratefulness.
