Doha, Qatar – In a ground breaking medical achievement, The View Hospital has announced thesuccessful completion of the first Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) closure procedurein the private sector in Qatar. Thismilestone marks a significant leap forward in cardiac care in the country,offering patients a cutting-edge and effective treatment option.
The procedure was performed successfully in The View Hospital's state-of-the-art catheterization lab under the supervision of Dr. Noureddin Sawan, a consultant in cardiology and electrophysiology. The medical team took only 20 minutes to close the PFO, significantly reducing the risk of stroke and othe complications. This achievement was made possible by the use of aminimally invasive technique.
A PFO, or patent foramen ovale, is a smallopening between the upper chambers of the heart that sometimes fails to closeafter birth. While it often causes no symptoms, it can increase the risk ofstroke. The condition is treated with asimple procedure where the opening is permanently closed, reducing risks andimproving patients' quality of life.
