IMC Hospital Performs First Atrial Fibrillation Treatment Using Pulsed Field Ablation Technology

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
In a groundbreaking medical achievement, the Heart Center at the International Medical Center (IMC) successfully treated its first case of atrial fibrillation using Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) technology. The procedure, led by Dr. Mohammed Al-Hanshel and the integrated medical team specializing in cardiac electrophysiology and pacemaker implantation, marks a major milestone in the treatment of heart rhythm disorders.

Pulsed Field Ablation represents one of the latest advancements in cardiology, utilizing high-voltage electrical pulses to precisely target the tissues responsible for atrial fibrillation while preserving the integrity of surrounding tissues. This innovative approach reduces the risks associated with traditional treatments such as radiofrequency or cryoablation.

The procedure at IMC Hospital was notable for its precision and efficiency, with the treatment completed in a significantly shorter time than conventional methods. Initial results demonstrated an immediate improvement in the patient’s heart rhythm, along with a marked reduction in the risk of complications, including damage to the esophagus or adjacent organs.

This achievement underscores IMC Hospital’s commitment to medical excellence and innovation, further cementing its position as a leader in advanced healthcare solutions. It also reflects the skill and dedication of its medical team in delivering effective and cutting-edge treatments for heart rhythm disorders.

Abstract: The successful use of Pulsed Field Ablation technology for atrial fibrillation treatment at IMC is a testament to the hospital’s leadership in providing advanced medical care. This milestone reinforces IMC’s standing as a premier destination for cardiology services, bringing hope to patients with complex cardiac conditions.
