About Dr. Megaly
Dr. Michael Megaly is an interventional cardiologist practicing at Integris Health Heart Hospital in Oklahoma City, OK. Dr. Megaly specializes in complex coronary interventions, chronic total occlusion PCI, complex peripheral artery interventions, and limb salvage.
Dr. Megaly's journey to becoming a renowned interventional cardiologist began at Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt, where he earned his medical degree. He then honed his skills at the esteemed Minneapolis Heart Institute and HCMC in Minnesota, where he completed his Cardiology training. He then completed his interventional cardiology fellowship at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix. Dr. Megaly further specialized in complex coronary and chronic total occlusion interventions at the highly regarded Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, one of only five such programs in the United States. His dedication to his field is recognized by his fellowships with the American College of Cardiology and the Society for Coronary Angiography and Interventions.
Dr. Megaly focuses on treating complex coronary artery disease, which encompasses high-risk patients with heavily calcified vessels, multivessel disease, and chronic total occlusion interventions. Dr. Megaly also focuses on complex peripheral artery and limb salvage interventions.
Dr. Megaly's commitment to advancing the field of interventional cardiology is evident in his extensive research contributions. He has led numerous research projects, authored or co-authored over 200 scientific papers, and contributed to multiple chapters in books on interventional cardiology and chronic total occlusion interventions. His expertise is sought after by several prestigious interventional cardiology journals, where he serves as an associate board member, editor, and peer reviewer. Dr. Megaly's influence extends beyond the written word, as he has been a featured presenter, faculty member, and expert panelist at multiple renowned interventional cardiology conferences.

Interventional Cardiology at the Edge of What Is Treatable
The cases that define Dr. Megaly's practice are not defined by a single procedure but by a threshold, the point at which standard coronary or peripheral intervention is no longer sufficient. Chronic total occlusions that have been present for years; coronary anatomy too calcified to cross with conventional equipment; Patients whose heart function is too compromised to tolerate a prolonged procedure without hemodynamic support; and Peripheral arteries blocked below the knee and into the foot, where all other measures failed.
What makes Oklahoma City the destination for these referrals is not a single credential but an accumulation of them, advanced fellowship training in one of fewer than five dedicated complex coronary programs in the United States, over 200 peer-reviewed publications, chapters in the field's principal textbooks, and faculty roles at the conferences where the techniques themselves are taught. The infrastructure at Integris Health Heart Hospital matches that background: mechanical circulatory support, advanced calcium modification, and intravascular imaging, all available in a dedicated cardiac setting for cases that demand them.
"A lot of patients with complex coronary artery disease or chronic total occlusions of their heart arteries are told that there are no options for their treatment. They’re left with no choice but to continue living their life limited by their symptoms. I am focused on helping patients with complex coronary artery disease and chronic total occlusions and enabling them to lead an independent and healthy life."
"Too many patients with severe peripheral artery disease suffer from constant leg pain, non-healing wounds, and the terrifying possibility of losing a limb. They are often told nothing else can be done. I am dedicated to helping these patients restore blood flow through advanced peripheral interventions and limb salvage procedures so they can walk again without pain and keep their independence."
