Makkah: The Cardiac Center at King Abdullah Medical City (KAMC) successfully saved the lives of two pilgrims suffering from acute heart attacks and complex coronary artery blockages by employing state-of-the-art robotic cardiac surgery technology. According to Saudi Press Agency, KAMC, a member of the Makkah Health Cluster, reported that the first case involved a Nigerian pilgrim who presented with a late-onset myocardial infarction, complex coronary artery blockages, and reduced heart function of 35-40%. The second case involved an Uzbek pilgrim suffering from an acute myocardial infarction accompanied by acute pulmonary edema and severe cardiac dysfunction, with heart function reduced to 30-35%. A medical team performed robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery on both patients on the same day using an advanced surgical robot, KAMC disclosed. The technology provided a high degree of surgical precision and helped accelerate recovery while improving treatment outcomes. KAMC confirmed that both opera tions were successful and the patients have passed the critical stage. The achievement reflects the Cardiac Center's high level of readiness and its leadership in utilizing the latest robotic cardiac surgery technologies to serve pilgrims and enhance the quality of specialized healthcare provided during the Hajj season, KAMC noted. The procedures were carried out under the Urgent Care model within the Saudi Model of Care, as part of a system of specialized cardiac care services provided to pilgrims during the 1447 AH Hajj season.
