MAKKAH: A specialized medical team at the King Abdullah Medical City in Makkah saved the life of a 70-year-old Turkish pilgrim who suffered a stroke.
The team performed a minimally invasive procedure that involved inserting a catheter into the brain to unblock the clogged artery and remove a blood clot.
The patient regained full consciousness and was able to speak and move her limbs within less than an hour.
She was then placed in the intensive neurological care unit for monitoring.
