After immediate resuscitation efforts were successfully implemented, Domazos underwent a comprehensive medical evaluation. According to the latest medical announcement, the veteran athlete was fitted with a ventricular assist device after undergoing coronary angioplasty. This device, sometimes referred to as an “artificial heart,” is surgically implanted to help the heart pump blood. It is often used temporarily to support a failing heart until a more permanent solution, such as a transplant, can be found.

As he remains intubated in the intensive care unit, Domazos’s condition is being closely monitored by his medical team. Despite the precarious nature of his health, his resilience continues to be a source of hope for family, friends, and fans.

The news has evoked an outpouring of emotion across Greece. Prominent journalist Pavlos Tsimas shared his personal reflections on Domazos, reminiscing about the impact the footballer had on his life. Tsimas, moved to tears, recounted vivid memories from his youth, emphasizing the profound connection Domazos had with the club Panathinaikos, one of the most revered teams in Greek football. Despite having retired from the sport over 45 years ago, Domazos remains an enduring figure in the hearts of many Greeks, symbolizing a golden era of Greek football.

Tsimas described Domazos’s remarkable dedication and professionalism, noting his refusal to indulge in distractions such as late nights or even coffee, devoting himself entirely to his athletic career during an era when football was far less commercialized than today. His determination and leadership skills were evident whenever he stepped onto the pitch, showcasing unique qualities that left a lasting legacy.

This personal testimony underscores the wide-reaching influence Domazos had, inspiring a generation of aspiring footballers. His story continues to unite different generations, reflecting his lasting impact not only as a football legend but also as a national icon.
