Heart and Vascular Health with Modern Surgical and Interventional Techniques

Cardiovascular Surgery is the specialty focused on the surgical and interventional treatment of diseases affecting the heart, aorta, and vascular system. With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, life expectancy and quality of life can be significantly improved.

Our clinic offers a broad range of treatment options, including open-heart surgery, minimally invasive procedures, endovascular techniques, and robotic surgery. Our goal is to treat disease effectively while ensuring a safe and rapid return to daily life.

Conditions Treated

Heart Diseases

Coronary artery disease
Heart valve diseases
Congenital heart defects (septal defects and structural abnormalities)
Aortic diseases

Vascular Diseases

Aortic aneurysms
Arterial occlusions
Varicose veins and venous insufficiency
Venous thrombosis
Pulmonary embolism

Circulatory Disorders

Peripheral arterial disease
Diabetic foot circulation disorders
Chronic wounds and non-healing ulcers

Aortic Surgery

The aorta is the body’s largest artery. Conditions such as aneurysm or rupture are life-threatening and require early diagnosis.

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR – TEVAR)

A stent graft is placed into the dilated segment of the aorta through the groin without opening the chest or abdomen.

Advantages:

No major open surgery
Shorter recovery time
Reduced surgical risk

Open Aortic Surgery

Open surgical procedures are performed for ascending, arch (thoracic), and abdominal aortic pathologies when indicated.

Aortic Valve Surgery

Valve replacement or repair can often be performed through small incisions from the side of the chest or under the arm.

Minimally Invasive and Robotic Heart Surgery

Many cardiac surgeries can be performed without large chest incisions.

Procedures include:

Heart valve surgeries
Septal defect repairs

These may be performed through a 5–6 cm incision. Most patients are discharged within 4–5 days. In selected cases, robotic surgery is utilized.

Heart Valve Repair

Whenever possible, native valve preservation is preferred, especially in:

Mitral valve insufficiency
Tricuspid valve insufficiency

Benefits include:

Preservation of natural heart function
Reduced need for long-term anticoagulation
Improved long-term outcomes

Varicose Veins and Venous Insufficiency

Minimally invasive outpatient treatments include:

Laser therapy
Radiofrequency ablation
Endovenous techniques

Patients typically return to daily activities shortly after treatment.

Spider Vein Treatment

Foam therapy
Sclerotherapy
Needle radiofrequency

Arterial Occlusions

Leg artery occlusions may cause walking pain, coldness, and ulcers. Early stages may present as reduced walking capacity.

Treatment approach:

Comprehensive evaluation
Lifestyle modification and smoking cessation
Medical therapy and exercise programs
Balloon angioplasty and stent placement when appropriate
Surgical bypass for selected patients

Stem Cell Therapies

In selected patients with limited interventional options, stem cell and cellular therapies may promote microvascular development and improve circulation.

Interventional Vascular Treatment for Knee Pain

In osteoarthritis-related knee pain, embolization procedures may reduce pain and delay joint replacement surgery in suitable patients.

How Knee Embolization Is Performed

Catheter insertion through a groin or knee vessel
Visualization of pathological vascular networks
Occlusion using microparticles

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and patients are typically discharged the same day.

Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) involves clot formation in deep leg veins. If untreated, clots may travel to the lungs, causing pulmonary embolism, a life-threatening condition.

Symptoms of DVT

Swelling in one leg
Calf or thigh pain
Warmth and redness
Tenderness

Symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism

Sudden shortness of breath
Chest or back pain
Palpitations
Weakness or fainting
Cough or coughing up blood

Urgent evaluation is required.

Who Should Seek Evaluation?

Chest pain or shortness of breath
Dizziness or fainting
Leg swelling or varicose veins
Leg pain while walking
Non-healing wounds
Sudden leg coldness or discoloration
Family history of aortic aneurysm
Individuals over 55 years for a one-time aneurysm screening
Those with a family history of early heart attack or bypass surgery

Personalized and Multidisciplinary Treatment

Treatment plans are determined collaboratively with cardiology, radiology, and related specialties. Our aim is to select the most appropriate and comfortable treatment option while avoiding unnecessary surgery.
