Doha, Qatar – Aman Hospital has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in cardiac care by becoming the first private hospital in Qatar to successfully perform a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), a minimally invasive life-saving procedure for patients with severe aortic stenosis.
This landmark achievement underscores Aman Hospital’s leadership in advanced cardiovascular treatments and its commitment to delivering world-class, innovative healthcare solutions to the community. The TAVI procedure, performed by Aman Hospital’s expert cardiovascular team, led by Dr. Mohammed Al Hijji, Interventional Cardiologist at Aman Hospital (Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar, 2011), offers a safer alternative to open-heart surgery for high-risk patients, ensuring faster recovery and improved outcomes. Dr. Hussain Ismaeel, Head of Cardiology at Aman Hospital, said ”
This delivers to our commitment to serving our patients with the best available. This procedure crowns others that Dr. Hijji has performed, and is a peak at what the Medical Services at Aman hospital offer across various specialties. It’s indeed a moment of pride”. This achievement follows a series of pioneering milestones in structural heart disease within the private sector, including transcatheter mitral valve repair and atrial septal defect closure procedures performed at Aman Hospital.
Dr. Mohammed Al Hijji stated, “This accomplishment reflects our dedication to pioneering cutting-edge cardiac interventions in Qatar. The successful TAVI procedure is a testament to our team’s expertise and the hospital’s advanced infrastructure, enabling us to provide exceptional care to patients with complex heart conditions”.
