Medcare Hospital’s Revolutionary Treatment for Chronic Pulmonary Hypertension

UAE’s First of its kind procedure for Pulmonary Hypertension successfully carried out at Medcare Hospital Sharjah

  • This minimally invasive procedure, known as Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty, offers new hope for patients who suffer from a rare type of pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs caused by blood clots in lung blood vessels).
  • The procedure restored blood flow through the patient’s lungs, helping prevent further progression of a potentially life-threatening condition that could have led to heart failure and premature death if left untreated.

The breakthrough intervention was led by Dr. A.B. Gopalamurugan, Structural Interventional Cardiologist at Medcare Hospital Sharjah, marking a major step forward in the treatment of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH), a rare but potentially fatal condition that, until now, required patients in Dubai to seek care abroad.
