Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition that can strike without warning, often caused by blood clots traveling to the lungs from the legs. Left untreated, PE can result in severe heart strain, lung damage, or even sudden death. This week, Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur successfully treated a patient with PE, with Dr. Norshazriman Sulaiman leading the medical team, supported by Getz Healthcare’s Rapid Response Services. Through the use of EKOS technology, the medical team quickly intervened to provide the critical care needed, taking the lead to provide EKOS treatment for the first time in Gleneagles Kuala Lumpur.

EKOS, an advanced ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis system, is specifically designed to dissolve blood clots in a targeted, efficient manner, significantly reducing treatment time and improving outcomes for patients with pulmonary embolism. Getz Healthcare remains committed to delivering timely, life-saving support across Klang Valley. Contact us to learn more about our EKOS Rapid Response Services.
