Dr. Hani also contributed to the innovation of operations for complex congenital heart defects, to avoid putting them on a single ventricular path.
Dr. Hani Negm performed more than 10,000 heart surgeries for adults and children, and presented innovative practices and exceptional contributions to heart surgery, including his participation in a delicate surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in the heart of a fetus no older than 26 weeks old.
