Professor Atef Allam introduced endovascular surgery to Egypt in 1998 as one of the early medical centers, training over 30 vascular surgeons and establishing the first simulator-based workshop on endovascular procedures and duplex-guided intervention program in the country.
Co-founder and first Secretary General of the Vascular Society of Egypt (2004), later serving as President (2013-2015). Led a national campaign for independence of vascular specialty from general surgery departments across Egypt. Supervised 50+ M.D. and M.S. thesis across multiple universities.
Johns Hopkins University Research Fellow (1994-1995), presented at 60+ international conferences including Shanghai Endovascology, and established Egypt as the only center practicing duplex-guided endovascular procedures globally.
Born December 17, 1954, Professor Atef Abdel Galil Mohamed Allam has dedicated over four decades to advancing vascular and endovascular surgery in Egypt and internationally. As Emeritus Professor at Al-Azhar University Faculty of Medicine for Girls, he stands as a pioneer in endovascular surgery, founder of the independent Vascular/Endovascular Surgery Department, and a transformational leader who changed the landscape of vascular medicine in Egypt.
Professor Allam's scientific contributions include 18 peer-reviewed publications in the Scientific Journal of Al-Azhar Medical Faculty (1992-1999), conference presentations at 60+ international meetings, and extensive conference proceedings from medical congresses.
Presented at 60+ international conferences including Endovascology Shanghai, Johns Hopkins symposiums, and Pan-Arab medical congresses across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, China, Germany, and Jordan.
View ConferencesSupervised and evaluated 50+ M.D. and M.S. thesis across Al-Azhar, Ain Shams, Assiut, and Alexandria Universities covering vascular surgery, general surgery, and related specialties.
