Tender Palm Hospital Achieves Milestone with Second Successful M-TEER (My Clip) Procedure

Lucknow :Tender Palm Hospital, Lucknow, has made significant strides in cardiac care by successfully completing its second Mitral Valve Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (M-TEER / MY CLIP) procedure. This complex, life-saving intervention was performed on a 75-year-old female patient, highlighting a revolutionary approach for individuals deemed too high-risk for traditional open-heart surgery.

Dr. Gautam Swaroop, Director of the Hospital's Cardiology Department, stated that the patient was suffering from severe Mitral Regurgitation (Severe MR) and Valvular Heart Disease, leading to recurrent episodes of heart failure, breathlessness, and extreme weakness. Due to her advanced age, the risks associated with conventional open-heart surgery were prohibitive.

The Minimally Invasive Solution
Following detailed investigation by a multi-disciplinary team, the M-TEER procedure was selected. Dr. Swaroop emphasized the safety and modernity of the technique:

“This procedure is completely safe and modern. It does not require general anesthesia. A catheter is guided to the heart through the veins in the leg to repair the valve. The entire process takes approximately 40-45 minutes, and the patient can often be discharged the very next day.”

Post-procedure, the patient showed clear improvement in breathing and the heart's function normalized.

The successful treatment was led by Dr. Gautam Swaroop, supported by a skilled team of senior cardiologists including Dr. Mohit Mohan Singh, Dr. Adesh Kumar Singh, and Dr. Krishna Kumar Sahani.

Dr. Swaroop noted that M-TEER offers a safer, precise, and life-saving alternative, marking a new direction in cardiology where the repair of all four heart valves is possible without open-heart surgery. This second successful Mitra Clip/M-TEER case cements Tender Palm Hospital’s status as a center for advanced cardiac care in Uttar Pradesh.
