UHS doctors succeeded in saving the life of a 90-year-old Emirati patient by performing a delicate aortic surgery
Professor Tariq Al Mahdi, head of the Surgery Department at the University Hospital Sharjah, said: “The emergency department at the hospital received a 90-year-old patient in a critical condition at 11 pm. He collapsed after low blood circulation and was suffering from severe pain in the abdomen and back.
“After clinical examinations, Dr Ahmed El Fassi, consultant vascular surgeon, was summoned, as it was found that there was a case of aortic rupture, which is one of the most critical and difficult cases,” he said.
