Hadi Mustafa Hamad with 15% heart function saved by MitraClip in India

  • An Iraqi man with only 15% heart function received a successful TEER (MitraClip) therapy at Paras Health Gurugram, India.
  • Hadi Mustafa Hamad, 58, arrived with collapsing organs and was deemed too high-risk for open-heart surgery.
  • The minimally invasive procedure repaired his leaking mitral valve, improving heart function from 15% to nearly 40% within ten days.
  • The complex case involved 14 specialists and required a second MitraClip and CPR during the procedure.
  • Initially, Hamad's symptoms were mistaken for asthma for two years due to diabetes masking chest pain.

Why It Matters: India's advanced heart procedure offers hope for critical international patients.
