A pioneer in the field in Interventional Cardiology, Dr. Shafeeq Mattummal comes with over 17 years of vast experience in cutting edge heart treatments without open heart surgery in North Kerala. Before moving to Europe for fellowship, he got extensive training in Internal Medicine and Cardiology from various prestigious institutes in India. He got trained in Structural Interventions from the University of Bern, Switzerland, under world renowned cardiologist Prof Bernhard Meier. He has performed the first TAVI in North Kerala in 2017 in Aster MIMS, was operational in developing new valve therapies in Kerala, and is currently one of the most renowned TAVI operators in the country. His area of interest is Complex Coronary Angioplasty, Structural, Adult congenital and Valvular Interventions including Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), Device closures, and Aortic therapies like EVAR, TEVAR, fenestrated EVAR etc.
Dr. Shafeeq Mattummal finished MBBS from Calicut Medical College in1997. He completed MD (Internal Medicine) from Grant Medical College & JJ Hospitals in Mumbai in 2002. Later he Finished DM (Cardiology) from the prestigious King Edward VII Memorial (KEM) Hospital & Seth GS Medical College, Mumbai in 2006.

He had extensive training in Complex Coronary interventions (CTO), intracardiac shunt device closures, LA appendage closures in AF patients, Septal ablation for HOCM and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) from there. He also got trained in TAVI by Prof. Alain Cribier, in Rouen, France who performed the first ever TAVI in the world, in 2002.
