King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center conducted the first caesarean section of its kind in the Middle East for a woman who was living on an artificial heart pump.

The hospital stated that after discovering the pregnancy, it prepared a continuous treatment plan that includes an early date for childbirth to avoid complications, and then the delivery took place in the 33rd week, and the mother and newborn were transferred to intensive care, both of which are in good health.

The hospital indicated that this case is one of the rare medical cases recorded in the world and the first in the Middle East, indicating that doctors do not recommend pregnancy for those who live with an artificial pump because of its danger to the life of the mother and the fetus.
