Introducing the Venus P-Valve Implantation at SEHA Sheikh Khalifa Medical City

SEHA Sheikh Khalifa Medical City, a SEHA facility and part of the PureHealth network, proudly announces the successful introduction of the Venus P-Valve implantation — a groundbreaking, minimally invasive procedure for patients with complex congenital heart conditions.

This advanced cardiac intervention is now available in the UAE, offering patients a safer alternative to open-heart surgery with faster recovery times and world-class outcomes.

What Is the Venus P-Valve?

The Venus P-Valve is a self-expanding valve system designed to replace the pulmonary valve using a keyhole (catheter-based) technique. It is ideal for patients with right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction, often due to congenital heart disease.

Who Can Benefit?

This procedure is ideal for patients with:

A Breakthrough for Patients and Families

Three patients were the first to receive this groundbreaking procedure at SKMC. For them and their families, it meant:

• No need to travel abroad
