About Dr. Mohamed Salem
Dr. Mohamed Salem is a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist and Endovascular Medicine specialist at The Heart and Vascular Center, American Hospital Dubai. He joined the hospital in 2013 after spending 10 years in clinical practice across Pennsylvania, USA, where he worked at Guthrie Clinic and served as Associate Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at St. Luke's University Hospital & Network—both institutions ranked among America's top 50 hospitals for cardiac and vascular care.
Dr. Salem has extensive expertise in minimally invasive heart and blood vessel procedures. He is particularly experienced with the radial artery approach (via the wrist) for heart catheterization and intervention, which allows patients to avoid larger chest or groin incisions. He treats complex heart and peripheral vascular conditions including blocked leg arteries, aneurysms, and structural heart defects. He specializes in percutaneous closure of ASD (atrial septal defect) and PFO (patent foramen ovale)—two common heart wall openings that can be sealed without open surgery.
Dr. Salem is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and a member of the Society of Vascular Medicine. He has authored or co-authored several scientific publications and regularly participates in medical conferences. He is a strong fit for patients seeking expertise in catheter-based interventions and those wanting to avoid traditional open-heart surgery.
Special interests: radial artery approach for cardiac procedures, complex vascular intervention, minimally invasive cardiac repair.
A good choice if you…
- ✓need heart catheterization or intervention via the wrist (radial approach) rather than groin or chest incisions
- ✓have a heart wall opening (ASD or PFO) requiring closure without open surgery
- ✓have blocked leg arteries or aneurysms requiring catheter-based repair
