EasyJet A320 total brake failure at Athens

An EasyJet A320(reg: GEZUH) performing flight Larnaca to London Gatwick, diverted to Athens at 22:20 initially declaring a medical emergency on approach,(male passenger with a heart attack problem). Upon descent, the PIC then requested to hold, stating a technical issue with the brakes. At 22:59 MAYDAY was declared, and PIC stated that a full length runway landing would be executed due to total brake failure. Aircraft continued to hold and landed safely on runway 21L at 23:44.The male passenger with the heart attack problem was treated by the Airport Medical Services and found to be in good condition.
