Kuwait City | A 60-year-old Kuwaiti man who suffered congestive heart failure and was unresponsive to treatment underwent a successful heart transplant. This is a new achievement for Kuwait in the field of treatment. This is also the second heart transplant in the country. A first for a Kuwaiti citizen.
The surgery was performed by a joint Kuwaiti-Saudi medical team. Prof. Riyad Al Tarsee and Dr. Firaz Khalil, consultant heart surgeon at Saudi King Faisal Specialist Hospital, led the surgery.
