The nanofibrillar scaffolds designed to guide the process of cellular repopulation is an important step towards prolonging life and enhancing the quality of life for patients with advanced heart disease with defective valve.

It is totally unacceptable that there are countries with no paediatric cardiac surgeries.

My dad was a surgeon in Egypt. He was a general surgeon. As a little boy I always admired what he was doing, and I wanted to do surgery.

As a heart surgeon I am on constant call, and when not researching or giving lectures, I like to be with my family.

I dont have any regrets. I consider myself really privileged to belong to medicine and do what I do. I would do it all again.

I have a charity called the Chain Of Hope, where we target children from poor areas where heart surgery is not available, and we offer our services.
