Expat Undergoes 'rare' Operation In Kuwait

Dr Hussein Safar, a vascular surgery consultant at Mubarak Al- Kabeer Hospital, confirmed that a Lebanese patient underwent a rare surgery after suffering from severe heart failure, stiffness, and narrowing of the left carotid artery, according to Al-Anba daily. Dr Ashraf Abdel, a cardiac surgery consultant, coordinated the surgery with Safar, according to the daily. The patient was transferred from the Cardiac Care Unit at Mubarak Al-Kabeer Hospital to the Chest Diseases Hospital, where a cleaning and patching surgery was performed on the left carotid artery.

Following the operation, the aortic valve was replaced and arteries were transplanted into the heart. Performing such a joint operation reduces the incidence of brain clots and paralysis,” he explained. According to him, the patient was transferred from the intensive care unit (ICU) to the ward and is in good health. The assistant doctors, the Anesthesia Department led by Dr Muhammad Onsi, and the nursing staff were thanked for their contributions to the successful surgery.
