Dr.S.Mullasari Ajit was Conferred Fellow of the Sri Lanka College of Cardiology in Aug 2025 and also recognized for his outstanding innovative work by the Cardiology Society of India Kerala & TN Chapters in Sep 2025

Dr.K.Sivakumar, Paediatric Cardiologist has been recognized as one of the 14 Cardiologists from India on the list of World Top 2% of Scientists in 2025 by the Stanford University

We are proud of our medical team at MMM and wish to place on record our gratitude to these two Eminent Cardiologists for continuing to strive for excellence in the Institution.

MMM - PCSI Focused Regional Symposium - 9th August 2025

The Department of Pediatric cardiology of Madras Medical Mission conducted a focussed symposium in association with the Pediatric Cardiac Society of India on large vessel stenting in congenital heart disease. 60 pediatric cardiologists from all over the country and neighbouring countries attended the meeting which had lectures on various topics and 6 case demonstrations. The topics included branch pulmonary artery stenting, conduit stenting, percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation, sinus venosus defect transcatheter closure and coarctation stenting.

LEADLESS PACEMAKER - THE FUTURE

Leadless pacemakers represent an important advancement in bradyarrhythmia management, especially in patients with post pacemaker infection or limited venous access. We performed two leadless pacemakers last month, using Medtronic MICRA AV2 leadless pacemaker and Abbott AVEIR VR leadless pacemaker. Their intracardiac design eliminates the need for leads or subcutaneous pockets.

Clinical Benefits of leadless pacemakers involve no surgical pocket; elimination of transvenous leads which lowers the risk of lead-related complications; reduced infection risk; preservation of vascular access (crucial for patients on long-term hemodialysis) & minimally invasive approach leading to shorter procedure time, faster recovery, and less procedural trauma.

These cases are testament to MMM Hospital’s commitment in delivering advanced, patient-centered cardiac care. By combining clinical expertise with innovative device technology, we offer safer, more effective treatments - even for most complex and high-risk patients - while keeping future treatment options open.
