First computer-assisted stroke treatment in Kingdom
For the first time in Jordan, King Abdullah the Founder University Hospital succeeded through the Interventional Radiology team in treating two complex cases of pulmonary embolisms using an advanced computerized system for clot removal (Penumbra Lightning12). This system features sophisticated technology that helps distinguish the clot from the open blood vessel and intelligently organize the suction process, enhancing accuracy and reducing blood loss. In the first case, a young woman in her thirties suffering from an extensive clot was saved; it caused decreased oxygen levels and heart stress. Her condition improved after the procedure, and she was discharged in good health. In the second case, a 53-year-old woman with multiple clots and a severe brain hemorrhage was treated, with a filter installed to reduce the risk of clot recurrence, and her health continued to improve. This achievement represents an important step in the treatment of severe pulmonary embolisms and underscores the importance of using modern technology in medical treatment systems.
