The medical team of Prince Sultan Cardiac Center in Qassim succeeded in performing two meticulously precise and attentively careful operations which equally meant the end of suffering of the said two critically-ill patients. It was known that the first operation was conducted to a 26-year old patient with a severe enlargement of the ascending aorta, prone to bursting at any unspecified moment, thus threatening the patient's life. Furthermore, the patient's condition was associated with severe stenosis at the outset of the descending aorta. In totality, the said first patient suffered from coarctation of the aorta wherein its severity may risk and endanger his life. The medical team performed the operation by implanting a stent through the catheter to widen the narrowed beginning of the descending aorta, along with a high risk open heart surgery to replace the aortic valve with the entire ascending aorta and implant a new artificial artery. With all glory to the Almighty Allah, the operation turned into a commending success. 

Furthermore, the center's medical team also performed a surgical intervention for a 50-year old patient. The team implanted a stent, dilating the artery and preceded with an urgent operation that includes replacing the narrowed and severely calcified aortic valve. After their stable and better condition, the two patients were discharged from the center to return to their respective homes and live on with life's normalcy. 

Performing successful operations to two risky and chancy cases are vivid manifestations that the center is ready to take a leap forward. PSCCQ's readiness to conduct specialized medical and technical operations and readiness to deal with any case of heart diseases and surgery is now heightened into a higher level. At any given case, the center's medical team is ready and brave enough to take every single step to handle their patients with utmost care and commitment. After all, PSCCQ was founded to save lives.
