About Ramy Badawi, MD
Best interventional cardiologist In Hawaii
Dr Ramy Badawi is one of the best interventional cardiologist in Hawaii and specializes in catheter-based procedures for the treatment of coronary artery disease, heart valve disease and peripheral arterial disease.
He is the leading specialist in coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) and complex higher risk (and indicated) patients (CHIP) procedures in Hawai’i. Because of that Dr Ramy Badawi offers an alternative catheter-based therapy to patients who cannot undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
In addition Dr Ramy Badawi is the founder of the first coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) program in Hawai’i adopting the “hybrid” algorithm. He performed the first procedure in Hawai’i at Queens Medical Center in 2013. Before he began offering the procedure at Adventist Health Castle in 2019. Now he shares his time between both institutions to bring complex coronary procedural experience to both “town” side and “windward” side of Oahu on a weekly basis.
Not only has been Dr Ramy Badawi a pioneer for CTO and CHIP complex coronary procedures in Hawai’i for more than a decade, but also has been an advocate for cross-institution collaboration among Hawai’i physicians in the field. He hosts a quarterly Hawai’i Wide Cath Conference to encourage dissemination and discussion of ideas in the CTO and CHIP space.
