Dr Ayman Khairy, Deputy Director of the University Hospitals for Quality Assurance and Accreditation, announced the commencement of the project of treating cases of coronary artery clots. This project has become effective in Assiut university hospitals after a long period of preparation and coordination with Leiden University Hospital, Netherland. Dr Khairy explained that the project aims at prompt medical action to rescue cases of full blockage in the coronary artery; a risk that threatens the life of the patient and causes death within 90 minutes.  The project relies on the usage of a new technical device which sucks the clot by inserting a catheter and a smart stent to re-open the artery and henceforth prevent future recurrence of clots.  The entire process takes only an hour.
