Cardiovascular surgeons operate on your heart and blood vessels to repair damage caused by diseases or disorders of the cardiovascular system
Turkish surgeons use the latest innovations in heart surgery, as minimally invasive heart surgery with robot-assisted techniques.
Cardiac surgical procedures are:
Heart bypass surgery is also known as coronary bypass surgery, performed when the coronary arteries are damaged.
During the surgery the damaged arteries replaced with a graft or with a blood vessels which is taken another area of your body.
Bypass is performed when coronary arteries become so narrowed or blocked that medication or other treatment could not provide benefit. If the damage is too severe , heart attack risk is increasing and it means that surgical decision will be given by your doctor.
Heart bypass surgery is usually performed with the heart stopped under general anesthesia. This surgery generally takes between three to six hours and usually two , three , four or five coronary arteries repaired.
After the surgery generally two days of in the intensive care unit stay is required and recovery period takes minumum 6 weeks. You should follow your doctor’s istructions during your recovery period . You may return to your daily activities within the six weeks if your doctors give confirmation .
Mitral Valve is controlling the flow of blood in our body and if it does not work as it should be, some diseases may occur such as mitral stenosis and mitral insufficiency . Mitral stenosis is narrowing of mitral valve with the simplest definition . In this condition the the blood can not flow properly.
Mitral insufficiency is one of the another common heart valve disease. In this condition the blood can not pumb efficiently with the simple defination.
There are many signs of mitral valve disease and the most common symptoms are ,
There are many diagnostic tests such as Transthoracic echocardiogram, Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Chest X-ray.
Medication treatment can be an option if you have mild mitral disease. If you have severe disease you may require surgical treatment. Also minimally invasive procedures can be another treatment option. You should consult with your doctor to determine which treatment is appropriate for you.
Mitral valvuloplasty: Mitral Valvuloplasty is a minimially invasive procedure and usually it is performed to treat mitral valve stenosis . But not every patient with mitral stenosis can be a candidate for this procedure. You need to talk to your doctor to learn if you can be a cadidate for this treatment.
Mitral valve repair: Mitral valve repair is a surgical treatment which is usually performed to treat mitral insufficiency . However to decide the best treatment option for you , your condition should be evaluated by your doctor.
Mitral valve replacement: Mitral valve replacement is a surgical treatment which is performed to treat mitral stenosis and mitral insufficiency. Surgeons will remove the natural mitral valve and replaced mechanical valve or biological valve in this surgery.
After mitral valve surgery , you require to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for 1 or 2 days and you will require to stay approximately 3 - 5 days in the ward . After you will discharged from the hospital your doctor may have some recommendations for your daily life activities and eating habits .
Aortic Valve is controlling the flow of blood from left ventricle into the aorta and if it does not work as it should be, some diseases may occur such as aortic valve stenosis and aortic valve regurgitation.
Aortic valve stenosis is narrowing of aortic valve with the simplest definition . In this condition the blood can not flow properly from heart to aortic valve.
Aortic valve regurgitation is one of the another common heart valve disease. In this condition depending on various pathologies ,the aortic valve is not fully closed and as a result of this the blood pumped into the aorta is leaking to the left ventricle.
There are many signs of aortic valve disease and the most common signs are:
There are many diagnostic tests such as Transthoracic echocardiogram, Electrocardiogram (ECG) a, Chest X-ray, Cardiac catheterization, MRI and CT.
If you have mild disease, follow up and medication treatment could be an option. If you have severe disease you may require surgical treatment. Also minimally invasive procedures can be another treatment option. You should consult with your doctor to determine which treatment is appropriate for you.
Aortic valve balloon valvuloplasty: Valvuloplasty is a minimially invasive procedure and usually it is performed to treat mitral aortic valve stenosis . But not every patient with aortiv valve stenosis can be a candidate for this procedure. You need to talk to your doctor to learn if you can be a cadidate for this treatment.
Aortic valve repair: Aortic valve repair is a surgical treatment which is usually performed to treat aortic valve regurgitation .However to decide the best treatment option for you , your condition should be evaluated by your doctor.
Aortic valve replacement: Aortic valve replacement is a surgical treatment which is performed to treat aortic valve stenosis and aortic valve regurgitation. Surgeons will remove the natural mitral valve and replaced mechanical valve or biological valve in this surgery.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR): This minimally invasive surgical procedure performed patients who suffered from aortic valve stenosis. The procedure is advised for high risk patients for an open heart procedure.
