King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center (KFSHRC) recently achieved a remarkable milestone by conducting three successful heart transplants within a span of 24 hours!<\/h2>\n

Offering renewed hope to patients battling severe heart conditions, the complex operation began with KFSHRC’s Heart Center teams mobilizing to Abu Dhabi and Jeddah to procure hearts from brain-dead donors. These critical organs were swiftly transported to Riyadh via private aircraft.<\/p>\n

All 3 hearts were successfully transported within the tight time frame of 24 hours!<\/h2>\n

Simultaneously, another team collaborated with King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) in Riyadh to procure a third heart from a suitable donor. Supported by the Riyadh Traffic Department, the hearts were expediently transferred by ambulance from King Khalid International Airport (KKIA) and KAMC to KFSHRC. Within the stringent timeframe of 24 hours, all three hearts were successfully transplanted, highlighting exceptional coordination and efficiency.<\/p>\n

One of the patients was a 9 year-old girl who awaited a suitable donor!<\/h2>\n

One patient, a nine-year-old girl previously reliant on an artificial pump, awaited a suitable donor. Through collaboration with the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation and UAE’s HAYAT program, a compatible heart was sourced from Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. Led by Dr. Zuhair Al-Halees, the transplant surgery was performed at KFSHRC, where the girl is currently recovering under close medical supervision.<\/p>\n

Another heart was also procured from Jeddah for a forty-year-old man in advanced stages of heart disease. Dr. Feras Khaliel led the transplant surgery, and the patient is now stable and progressing well, communicating with his family.<\/p>\n

A 41 year-old man received a heart from KAMC Riyadh<\/h2>\n

The third patient, a 41-year-old man suffering from severe heart muscle failure, received a heart from KAMC Riyadh. Dr. Khaliel also oversaw this successful transplant at KFSHRC, where the patient remains under observation in stable condition.<\/p>\n

These achievements underscore KFSHRC’s expertise in executing complex medical procedures and overcoming logistical challenges. The hospital’s collaborative approach, involving regulatory processes, donor family approvals, and seamless inter-hospital coordination, reflects its commitment to advancing healthcare and saving lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center (KFSHRC) recently achieved a remarkable milestone by conducting three successful heart transplants within a span of 24 hours!
