Intravascular Imaging

Utilisation of IVUS and OCT, together with physiological assessment such as FFR, to support detailed lesion assessment and procedural optimisation.

Atherectomy

Experience with advanced plaque-modification techniques, including rotational and orbital atherectomy, for heavily calcified coronary lesions.

Acute Coronary Syndromes

Management of patients presenting with acute and potentially life-threatening coronary events, requiring rapid and highly specialised intervention.

Beyond Conventional Coronary Intervention

Dr. Sharafeldin's expertise extends beyond complex coronary angioplasty into advanced cardiovascular therapies and mechanical circulatory support.

Structural Heart & Advanced Therapies

MitraClip Implantation
Transcatheter mitral valve repair for appropriately selected structural heart patients.

Pulmonary Embolism Therapy
Catheter-directed and pharmacomechanical approaches for the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism.

Impella Support
Percutaneous mechanical circulatory support utilised in selected high-risk PCI procedures and cardiogenic shock.

Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump
Mechanical haemodynamic support for critically ill and high-risk cardiac patients.

Leadership, Education & Clinical Excellence

For Dr. Sharafeldin, interventional cardiology extends beyond the procedure itself.

His professional interests include catheterisation laboratory leadership, procedural workflow optimisation, clinical education, mentoring and quality improvement.

He has been involved in:
