Dr. Sherin Abdelsalam

Dr. Sherin Abdelsalam is a distinguished specialist in pediatric interventional cardiology, with extensive experience in diagnosing and treating congenital heart defects in infants, children, and newborns.
Her work focuses on performing catheter-based interventions that replace open-heart surgery in many cases, using highly advanced tools designed specifically for pediatric patients.

Areas of Expertise

Diagnosis of Congenital Heart Diseases

Dr. Sherin provides comprehensive evaluation through:
• Pediatric echocardiography
• Diagnostic cardiac catheterization
• Advanced cardiac imaging
These tools allow accurate assessment of the defect and the best treatment plan for each child.

Catheter Closure of Heart Defects (ASD – VSD – PDA)

She performs minimally invasive interventions including:

• ASD closure

• Selected VSD closure

• PDA device closure
  The device is delivered through a soft catheter and placed precisely in the defect without surgery.

Balloon Valvuloplasty for Narrow Heart Valves

Procedures performed include:
• Pulmonary valve balloon dilation
• Mitral valve balloon dilation
These interventions restore normal blood flow and reduce pressure on the heart.

Treatment of Vascular and Arterial Narrowing

Her expertise includes:

• Dilatation of narrowed pulmonary arteries

• Pediatric stent implantation when indicated

• Treatment of coarctation of the aorta
  All procedures use pediatric-sized tools for maximum safety.

Critical Neonatal Cardiac Interventions

Dr. Sherin manages urgent cases in newborns, such as:

• Balloon atrial septostomy

• Reopening essential closed ducts
  These life-saving interventions stabilize the baby until full treatment is completed.

Long-Term Follow-Up

Children receive structured follow-up to monitor heart function, device stability, growth, and overall development.

Family-Centered Care Approach

Dr. Sherin communicates gently with children and clearly with parents, ensuring they understand the plan, expected results, and follow-up needs. Her calm approach provides reassurance during a stressful time.
