The surgical team of Prince Sultan Cardiac in Qassim pulled off a successful implant of artificial valves without the use of surgical sutures. The surgery was conducted to a 59-year old patient who was suffering from stenosis of the aorta root, accompanied by stenosis of the aortic valve. The said condition affected the patient's daily activities and he even became obese. 

Upon further and thorough study of the patient's medical status, the center's medical team performed the first surgery of its kind in the Qassim region. The implantation without surgical sutures was a bit risky considering that it was the center's very first operation of its kind. Thankful to the Almighty Allah that the surgery was indeed a success. Assured of the patient's stable condition, he was then discharged from the center and get back to his normal routines. 

Proud to say, the center is distinguished by its high readiness to perform such qualitative and accurate heart operations for both adults and children. And PSCCQ is beyond proud that over the past 10 months, their staff have performed more than 333 successful open heart surgeries for adults of both sexes.
