14-Year-Old Sudanese Boy Saved from Rare, Life-Threatening Heart Condition at Aster Hospital Mankhool

  • Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) affects 4-6% of congenital heart defect cases and occurs in about 1 in every 2,900 live births.[1] [2]
  • Prenatal diagnosis is possible, but it can be challenging, and the prenatal detection rate of isolated CoA remains low [3]
  • CoA is more prevalent in males than females, with a higher percentage of male births affected. [4]

Dubai, UAE – July 15, 2025: Aster Hospital Mankhool, ranked No. 4 on Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals in the UAE list for 2025, successfully treated a 14-year-old Sudanese boy, Mazin Muntassir Hassan, for a rare congenital heart condition that had gone undetected since birth and could have proved fatal if left untreated. The patient was under the care of Dr. Naveed Ahmed, Head of Cardiology at Aster Hospitals & Clinics UAE and Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Aster Hospital Mankhool.

Mazin was brought to Aster Hospital after experiencing persistent fatigue, a blackout episode, and elevated blood pressure, symptoms highly unusual for his age. An initial cardiac assessment revealed signs of left ventricular hypertrophy, prompting advanced imaging, including ECG, echocardiogram, and CT aortography. These tests confirmed the presence of coarctation of the aorta, a congenital condition where the aorta, the major artery carrying blood from the heart to the body is abnormally narrowed.

Soon after, she developed rapidly advancing ascending quadriparesis, and further diagnostic evaluations confirmed a diagnosis of infectious Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

Although her vital signs were stable at first, Ayesha’s condition deteriorated rapidly. She experienced increasing respiratory distress and significant weakness in all four limbs, eventually requiring transfer to the Intensive Care Unit for advanced medical care.
