Jordan's first computerized pulmonary embolism treatment at Al-Mo'assas King
The Interventional Radiology team at King Abdullah the Founder University Hospital, in collaboration with Intensive Care and Pulmonary Diseases teams, successfully treated two complex cases of pulmonary embolism using an advanced computerized system for clot removal via catheterization—this being a first in Jordan. The system (Penumabra Lightning12) employs sophisticated technology that distinguishes between the clot and the open blood vessel, intelligently regulating the suction process to enhance accuracy and efficiency while minimizing blood loss. In the first case, the team successfully treated a woman in her thirties who suffered from a 'Saddle Pulmonary Embolism,' which caused low oxygen levels and heart strain. Her condition improved significantly, and she was discharged from the hospital. In the second case, a 53-year-old woman with multiple clots and a brain hemorrhage was treated successfully with clot removal and the placement of a filter in the inferior vena cava to reduce the risk of recurrence, all while her clinical condition continued to improve. It is noteworthy that the technology relies on a specialized algorithm to detect and differentiate the clot, thereby enhancing the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
