How we chose this list

Every matching doctor profile in this country was scored out of 100 for how complete and checkable its published information is, and the highest scores appear here in order.

When do you need interventional cardiac catheterization?

Interventional cardiac catheterization treats a problem inside the heart or its arteries from within the blood vessel. A thin, flexible tube (catheter) goes in through an artery at the wrist or upper thigh and is guided to the heart under X-ray. A diagnostic study only takes pictures. In an interventional procedure, once the cardiologist finds a significant narrowing or blockage, they treat it in the same session. They may widen it with a balloon, place a stent or reopen a closed artery. It is usually done under local anaesthesia while you are awake, without opening the chest.

The usual stages are:

  • assessment and consent
  • local anaesthesia and access to the artery
  • imaging to find the significant lesion
  • the treatment itself
  • completion and monitoring

The intervention commonly takes 30 to 90 minutes. Complex or heavily calcified cases can take two hours or more. After wrist access, monitoring usually lasts 4 to 6 hours. An overnight stay is common after groin access or in emergencies.

Common reasons a cardiologist considers this procedure include:

  • angina (chest pain or tightness on effort) that does not settle on medication
  • a stress test or scan showing a significant reduction in blood supply to the heart muscle
  • an acute heart attack, when the blocked artery needs opening quickly

Some doctors on this list also publish catheter-based valve or structural procedures. Examples are transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and closure of septal defects. Whether any procedure is right for you can only be decided after a specialist assessment.

Book a cardiology visit if you have any of these:

  • chest discomfort on exertion that eases with rest
  • breathlessness out of proportion to your activity
  • palpitations
  • an abnormal ECG or stress test
  • a doctor's advice to have your coronary arteries assessed

Warning signs that need emergency care

Call 911 straight away if you have pain, pressure or heaviness in the centre of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that spreads to the arm, jaw, neck or back. This is especially urgent with sweating, nausea, breathlessness or light-headedness. Also call 911 for fainting or sudden severe breathlessness. Do not drive yourself, and do not wait for a clinic appointment.

How to choose among the doctors here

People looking for the best interventional cardiac catheterization doctors in Jordan often compare names alone. Comparing what each profile actually publishes is more useful:

  • Match the scope to your question. All six publish interventional cardiac catheterization. TAVR appears in the services of Dr. Al Saafin, Dr. Al Haddad and Dr. Al Shamaileh. Septal defect closure appears only for Dr. Al Shamaileh, and carotid artery catheterization for Dr. Al Saafin. Peripheral arterial disease follow-up is listed by Dr. Al Haddad, and cardiac CT imaging by Dr. Al Aloul.
  • Check where procedures happen. Several profiles state that procedures are arranged in hospital facilities after assessment. Ask which hospital's catheterization lab would be used, as it may differ from the clinic you visit.
  • Look at published training. Each profile lists its qualifications. Read them, and ask the doctor directly about their experience with your specific procedure.
  • Consider language and hours. Two profiles list languages: Arabic and English for Dr. Al Haddad, and English and Russian for Dr. Al Saafin. Most clinics here confirm 10:00–17:00, Saturday to Thursday. Al Shamaileh Cardiology Clinic confirms 10:00–20:00.
  • Check insurance early. Only three profiles list insurers, so confirm coverage before you book.

Getting a second opinion before a planned (non-emergency) procedure is reasonable and common.

What to expect at the first visit

The first appointment is usually a consultation, not the procedure itself. The cardiologist reviews your symptoms, history and previous tests. They may examine you and request an ECG, echocardiogram, stress test or blood tests. Then they explain whether catheterization is worth considering and what the alternatives are.

What to bring

  • Previous reports: ECGs, echocardiograms, stress tests, scans, and any earlier angiography report or CD
  • A stent card or discharge summary if you have had a previous procedure
  • A complete list of your medicines, especially blood thinners and diabetes medicines
  • Recent blood test results, including kidney function if available
  • Details of allergies, especially to contrast dye, iodine or medicines
  • Your insurance card and ID

Do not stop or change any medicine before the visit unless a doctor tells you to.

Questions worth asking

  • Why is catheterization recommended for me, and what are the alternatives, such as medication or surgery?
  • Will access be through the wrist or the groin?
  • How long will the procedure and monitoring take, and will I stay overnight?
  • What are the main risks in my case?
  • What medicines will I need afterwards, and for how long?
  • When can I return to work, driving and exercise?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

None of the six profiles publishes a consultation fee, so ask the clinic directly. Dr. Al Aloul's profile lists nine insurers. Dr. Al Saafin and Dr. Al Haddad list Arab Orient Insurance. The other three profiles list no insurers, so ask their clinics.

Before booking, ask:

  • Is the consultation covered by my insurer, and is a referral needed?
  • Does a catheterization need pre-approval, and who requests it?
  • Which parts of a procedure does my policy cover, such as stents, devices and the hospital stay?
  • What will I pay myself, and when?
  • Is a written estimate available before a planned procedure?

Doing this before the visit avoids surprises if a procedure is recommended.

Getting there

This is a Kingdom-wide list for Jordan, and each profile states its own city and district. Check the address and map location on the profile before you set off. The place where a procedure is done may differ from the consultation clinic, so confirm it in advance. After catheterization you should not drive yourself home. Arrange for someone to collect you, especially if you may stay overnight. If chest pain starts while you are on your way to any appointment, stop and call 911.

Checklist before you book

  • The doctor's published services include the procedure or condition you are asking about
  • You know which hospital would be used for any procedure
  • You have confirmed the consultation fee with the clinic
  • Your insurer, referral and pre-approval requirements are clear
  • The clinic's hours suit you, and you have checked the map location
  • You have gathered previous reports, angiography CDs and your medication list
  • You have noted any allergies, especially to contrast dye
  • You have arranged transport home if a procedure is planned
  • You know the warning signs and that 911 is the emergency number in Jordan

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of interventional cardiac catheterization doctors chosen?
Six of the nine profiles that publish this service are shown. They are ordered by a 100-point score for how complete and checkable each profile is. The score counts platform verification, approved reviews, published experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, confirmed hours, fee and map location. Featured profiles appear first with a badge. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
Am I awake during interventional cardiac catheterization?
Usually, yes. The procedure is normally done under local anaesthesia at the wrist or upper thigh, so you stay awake and can talk to the team. The chest is not opened. Your cardiologist will explain what you may feel during the procedure and whether any sedation is planned in your case.
How long does the procedure take, and will I stay in hospital?
The intervention itself commonly takes 30 to 90 minutes. Complex or heavily calcified cases can take two hours or more. After wrist access, monitoring usually lasts 4 to 6 hours. An overnight stay is common after groin access or in emergencies. Your doctor will confirm the plan for your case.
What is the difference between diagnostic and interventional catheterization?
A diagnostic catheterization (coronary angiography) takes X-ray pictures of the heart arteries to show narrowings. An interventional procedure goes further and treats a significant narrowing during the same session, for example with a balloon or a stent. Several doctors on this list publish both services. Whether you need either is decided after assessment.
Which doctors on this list publish TAVR?
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement appears in the published services of Dr. Munther Awni Al Saafin, Dr. Imad Al Haddad and Dr. Qasem Al Shamaileh. Valve procedures need a detailed specialist assessment first. Ask each doctor how they evaluate aortic stenosis and where the procedure would be carried out.
Do I need a referral to see a catheterization specialist in Jordan?
It depends on your insurer and the clinic. Some insurance policies require a referral or pre-approval for specialist visits and procedures. Others do not. Check with your insurer and the clinic before booking, and bring any letters or test results from the doctor who suggested a cardiology review.
What should I do if I have chest pain right now?
Do not book an appointment or wait. Call 911 immediately if you have chest pain, pressure or heaviness lasting more than a few minutes. Call especially if it spreads to the arm, jaw or back, or comes with sweating, nausea or breathlessness. Do not drive yourself to hospital.
