A medical team at the King Abdullah Medical City in Makkah (KAMC) managed to save the life of a Pakistani pilgrim who had a severe heart attack while performing Umrah rituals, according to Saudi Gazette.
The 50-year-old Pakistani pilgrim suffered an acute chest pain and was swiftly taken to Al-Haram Emergency Hospital. After he underwent the necessary examinations and checkups, he was immediately transferred to KAMC.
The medical team succeeded in conducting a catheterization of the heart arteries and placing stents in his heart. Then the pilgrim entered the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) so that doctors can follow up his case and ensure the stability of his health condition after the surgery. Eventually, the patient was discharged from the hospital in excellent health.
