Iraqi Patient Revived with 15% Heart Function
A 58-year-old Iraqi man named Hadi Mustafa Hamad was very sick with a heart that only worked at 15% and other organs failing.
Doctors in India used a special treatment called TEER, which is like putting a tiny clip on the heart to help it work better without needing a big surgery.
This treatment saved his life and he didn't need a heart transplant.
It was a very hard case, but a team of doctors worked together and used special tools to fix his heart.
TEER is a good option for very sick people who can't have regular heart surgery.
58-year-old Iraqi man with 15% heart function and multi-organ failure underwent double TEER valve repair.
Treatment at Paras Health, Gurugram, involved a team of 14 specialists using 3D imaging and fluoroscopy.
TEER procedure avoided the need for a heart transplant by repairing the leaking mitral valve.
Patient's condition was initially misdiagnosed as asthma due to diabetes masking symptoms.
Successful use of TEER demonstrates its potential for high-risk patients unsuitable for open-heart surgery.
