Cardiovascular Surgery

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery

Our Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic is structured as a “vascular health center” that combines experience with modern technology and based on international standards in the diagnosis, follow-up and treatment of vascular diseases.

In our clinic, the focus is not only on treating the disease, but on maximizing patient comfort and maintaining quality of life. From aortic surgery to aesthetic varicose vein treatments, all processes are managed from a multidisciplinary perspective.

1. Aortic Aneurysms (Abdominal and Thoracic Aortic)

Enlargements (aneurysms) that occur in the aortic vein are “silent dangers” that pose a vital risk when not intervened in time.

• Description of the disease and its risks: Ballooning, which occurs as a result of weakening of the aortic wall, carries the risk of rupture (rupture).
• Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR/TEVAR): By entering it through a catheter from the groin area, the aneurysm is repaired from the inside with a stent graft It is a closed method. Minimizes the time of intensive care and hospital stay.
• Open and Hybrid Surgery: In cases where the anatomy is not suitable for the closed method, surgical repair techniques or hybrid procedures are performed, which are a combination of both methods.

2. Peripheral Artery (Artery) Diseases and Limb Recovery

Blockages in the veins of the legs can lead to a wide picture, from walking pain to non-healing wounds and the risk of limb loss.

• Angioplasty and Stenting: It is the process of opening blocked vessel segments using balloon and stent technologies.
• Peripheral Bypass Surgery: In cases where the vascular occlusion is too long, they are bridging operations that are performed using the patient's own vein or synthetic grafts.
• Diabetic Foot and Wound Treatment: In case of vascular damage that develops due to diabetes, aggressive attempts are made to protect the limb.

3. Carotid (Chess Vein) Stenosis and Stroke Prevention

Stenoses in the vessels of the vessels of the vessels of the brain, which provide blood supply to the brain, are the main causes of paralysis.

• Carotid Endarterectomy: It is the process of surgically removing plaque from within a vein that causes stenosis. It is the gold standard method that permanently reduces the risk of stroke.
• Carotid Stenting: In patients with a high risk of surgery, blood flow is secured by placing a stent into the vein.

4. Varicose Veins and Chronic Venous Insufficiency Treatments

Varicose veins are not just a cosmetic problem; they are a circulatory disorder that proceeds with pain and swelling in the legs.

• Endovenous Laser and Radiofrequency Ablation: The diseased vessel is closed from the inside by heat energy. There are no incisions and stitches; the patient is discharged on foot on the same day.
• Biological Adhesive (Glue) Method: It is an up-to-date option that does not require heat and reduces the need for anesthesia to a minimum.
• Sclerotherapy: It is an effective “needle treatment” applied for capillary cracks.

5. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Management

Clots that form in the vessels (thrombosis) can have serious consequences, such as pulmonary embolism.

• Pharmaco-Mechanical Thrombectomy: It is the process of resorption of the clot by breaking down through the vein using special catheters. This method reduces the risk of permanent leg swelling (post-thrombotic syndrome).

6. Dialysis Access Surgery (Fistula and Catheter Center)

For patients with chronic renal failure, the vascular path is the most important link established with life.

• Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula Operations: For the formation of the longest-lasting and high-flow fistula, microsurgical techniques are used.
• Fistula Repair and Revision: Prolongation of the life of fistulas that are difficult to work is achieved by angiographic (balloon/stent) methods.

7. Special Vascular Diseases

• Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS): Surgical treatment of vascular and nerve pinching in the collarbone area.
• Buerger's Disease: Management of hand and foot vascular occlusions that develop due to smoking.
• Raynaud Phenomenon: Treatment of vascular spasms that occur in the hands in the cold.
