This was one of the turning points in my career in cardiology and great opportunity to
catch up with the new changes in the field of interventional cardiology; I have
changed to be a “Radial Approach” operator in performing coronary angiography
procedures and even in the management and treatment of acute myocardial infarction
(Primary PCI). I have also a great opportunity in participating for 6 consecutive years

in term of quality and quantity of cardiology services while caring for thousands of
pilgrimages who fallen ill during rituals of Hajj. I have performed over 4000 PCI
