From Failing Heart to Beating Strong: A Historic First at HVS Symbiosis

At HVS Symbiosis, history was created with a groundbreaking cardiac procedure that has set a new benchmark in India’s healthcare journey.

A 78-year old gentleman, struggling with only 25% heart function, severe blockages in his coronary arteries, and a leaking mitral valve, faced an extremely high risk for conventional open-heart surgery. His condition was critical, and conventional treatment options offered little hope. In a first-of-its-kind approach in India, our expert team of interventional cardiologists executed a carefully planned two-step, minimally invasive treatment:

1. Coronary Stenting – Life-saving stents were placed to open his severely blocked arteries and restore blood flow.

2. MyCLIP TEER Procedure – Using the innovative MyCLIP Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER) technology, the leaking mitral valve was sealed without the need for open-heart surgery.

This pioneering treatment offers a ray of hope to countless patients who are too frail for conventional valve surgery. Within days of the procedure, the patient experienced remarkable recovery – breathing freely, regaining strength and reclaiming his quality of life.

At HVS Hospitals, this milestone reflects our commitment to bringing the world’s most advanced cardiac solutions to India. The successful integration of cutting-edge stent therapy with MyCLIP TEER showcases what modern medicine can achieve – extending life, improving outcomes and giving patients a chance at renewed health.
