Dr. Haytham Allaham serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, specializing in interventional and structural cardiology. His clinical practice focuses on advanced percutaneous cardiovascular procedures at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
His educational background includes:
- MD from University of Jordan Medical School (2008)
- Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School (2015)
- Internal Medicine Residency at University of Missouri Medical Center (2016)
- General Cardiovascular Fellowship at University of Maryland (2019)
- Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at University of Maryland (2022)
- Advanced Structural Cardiology Fellowship at University of Maryland (2023)
Dr. Allaham's research centers on complex coronary interventions in patients with valvular heart disease, particularly double valve pathologies requiring transcatheter approaches. His work investigates TAVR and MitraClip procedures in conjunction with coronary artery disease, emphasizing patient selection criteria, procedural safety, and long-term outcomes through advanced imaging and device technology optimization. Current projects address mechanical hemodynamic support during high-risk interventions and refining percutaneous techniques for patients with limited surgical options.
His 15 most recent publications (2018-2021) demonstrate consistent focus on structural heart interventions, with 78% examining transcatheter valve procedures and their interplay with coronary disease. Key trends include concomitant TAVR-PCI outcomes, electrocardiographic predictors for procedural complications, and safety protocols for high-risk patient cohorts.
Professional recognition includes:
- Outstanding Post-doctoral Research Fellow at PERFUSE Study Group
- Outstanding Medical Student Teaching Award
As a board-certified specialist in internal medicine, cardiovascular medicine, interventional cardiology, and echocardiography, Dr. Allaham mentors medical trainees in complex case management while advancing clinical protocols for structural heart disease. His work integrates the University of Maryland's structural heart program with national research initiatives through collaborations with the American College of Cardiology and Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions.
He directs procedural training within the structural heart team at University of Maryland Medical Center, specializing in complex coronary interventions requiring mechanical circulatory support and transcatheter valve therapies for high-surgical-risk patients.
