Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 22:<\/strong> A<\/span>\u00a0miracle was recorded when a 78-year-old patient walked into HVS Symbiosis Super-Speciality Hospital, barely able to breathe.<\/p>\n

His heart was pumping at just 25% of its capacity, his coronary arteries were critically blocked, and his mitral valve leaked so badly that every heartbeat was a struggle.<\/p>\n

For most hospitals, the only option would have been high-risk open-heart surgery. For HVS, it was the start of a medical first.<\/p>\n

Rethinking the Impossible\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cA patient like this is like balancing on a razor\u2019s edge,\u201d<\/em> said Dr Ankur Phatarpekar.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWith such a weak heart, surgery itself could have triggered what we call afterload mismatch. Wherein, the heart collapses under sudden pressure changes. It\u2019s a risk that often proves fatal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Instead of accepting the odds, the team designed a pioneering, two-step, minimally meddling plan, one that would give a shot at life.<\/p>\n

First In-Human Trial: A Landmark Achievement\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through a pinhole in the wrist, Dr Meghav Shah, Dr Amit Gangwani, Dr Aniruddha Pawar, Dr Harshad Sagar, Dr Kunal Patankar, Dr Gourish Shinde, Dr Kedar Pote, and Dr Pravin Lovhale performed a complex coronary angioplasty, carefully placing stents in two major arteries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe response was immediate,\u201d noted Dr Meghav Shah. \u201cWe observed a measurable reduction in valve leakage, a clear indicator that the intervention was working as intended.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet the fight wasn\u2019t over. After 48 hours in the ICU, tests confirmed the mitral valve still leaked severely.<\/p>\n

Led by the closing of the Leaky Valve without Surgery\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then came the defining move: the MyCLIP TEER (Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair). Instead of opening the chest, doctors reached the mitral valve through a vein in the leg.<\/p>\n

\u201cPicture a door that won\u2019t close,\u201d explained Dr Gangwani. \u201cMyCLIP works like a precision hinge, which is a tiny, fabric-covered clip that brings the flaps together so the valve shuts again.\u201d<\/p>\n

With expert guidance from Dr Gourish Shinde and Dr Pravin Lovhale, the procedure sealed the leak. \u201cThe magic is in teamwork,\u201d added Dr Shinde. As aptly put by Dr Kedar Pote, \u201cIt takes a perfect sync of imagers and interventionists to make such cutting-edge repairs succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Transition of ICU Monitors to Normal Breathing:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It barely took time for the 78-year-old patient to be out of the ICU, breathing freely and resting without the bothersome fatigue that once defined his life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t just one success story,\u201d<\/em> emphasised Dr Harshad Sagar. \u201cIt\u2019s proof of what\u2019s possible when you refuse to accept limits.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTwo of these procedures were part of India\u2019s First-in-Human studies, underlining HVS\u2019s role as a frontrunner in advanced cardiac innovation.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Dr Aniruddha Pawar<\/p>\n

It signifies the future of Cardiac Care:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOnce upon a time, a patient like this would have been considered inoperable,\u201d reflected Dr. Kunal Patankar.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEvery heartbeat saved with MyCLIP is proof that the future is here.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
