It serves as a testament to the hospital\u2019s commitment to redefining the overall patient experience by successfully minimizing recovery periods and shortening hospital stays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This procedure is novel in the Middle East, and it specifically addresses individuals with heart valve diseases and congenital heart defects, which were previously untreatable through conventional catheterization techniques. Typically, these patients had to undergo open-heart surgery, entailing a prolonged recovery period of three months before returning to regular activities.
