Cardiovascular Diseases
Closed Heart Surgery
Closed heart surgery is a modern surgical technique performed with minimal invasiveness from the lower part of the breast without opening the anterior thoracic bone. Closed heart surgery is a safer surgical method in terms of risks during and after surgery.
Heart Surgery through the Axilla
Heart Surgery through the Axilla is performed with minimally invasive surgery and is performed with interventions of a few centimeters. Armpit heart surgery is much more advantageous than open heart surgery in terms of the patient’s comfort and recovery process after the surgery.
Heart Valve Surgery
Heart valve surgery is performed to treat problems such as congenital or subsequent stenosis and insufficiency of the heart valve due to various reasons. In some cases, heart valve diseases can also be treated with non-surgical methods.
Buerger Disease
Buerger’s disease, which is caused by the blockage of small arteries in the hands and feet, causes symptoms such as numbness, numbness, and pale skin, especially in cold weather. Buerger’s disease can cause organ loss if left untreated.
Heart Diseases
Early diagnosis and treatment in heart diseases is very important for the patient’s life expectancy and quality of life. Signs of heart disease should be given importance, and individuals with a family history of heart disease should pay attention to routine controls.
Cardiac surgery
Operations related to Cardiovascular Surgery directly affect all body functions of patients. Cardiovascular diseases not only negatively affect the quality of life of patients, but also bring serious health problems in the long term.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery is an advanced method of surgery. In minimally invasive surgery, which is widely used in heart diseases, the operation is performed with incisions of a few centimeters. Thus, the patients recover in a short time and the post-operative period is very comfortable.
Raynaud's Disease
Ranaud’s disease is a vascular disease that usually affects the fingers and toes, occurs as a result of reduced blood flow due to the narrowing of the vessels and can cause pain in the future. Raynaud’s disease symptoms should not be neglected.
Mitral Valve Surgery
Mitral valve diseases are performed for the treatment of stenosis or insufficiency of the heart valve. Mitral valve diseases are treated with non-surgical methods or heart valve surgery.
Aortic Valve Surgery
In cases where the functional disorders in the aortic valve have advanced, the heart valve functions of the patient are normalized by aortic valve repair or replacement surgery. Aortic valve surgery is done with minimally invasive surgery
Tricuspid Valve Surgery
The tricuspid valve is one of the four valves in the heart. For the treatment of congenital or acquired dysfunctions of the tricuspid valve, it is necessary to surgically repair or replace the valve.
Pulmonary Valve Surgery
Pulmonary valve surgery is performed for the treatment of functional disorders in the pulmonary valve. In cases where the pulmonary valve cannot be corrected, heart valve replacement surgery should be performed.

Frequently asked Questions
What is Minimally Invasive?
In the minimally invasive method, the surgical operation is performed by making incisions of a few centimeters under the armpit, abdomen or under the breast. Minimally invasive surgery, which enables the patient to recover in a shorter time and reduces the risk of infection after the surgical operation, is now widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
How Many Hours Does Closed Heart Surgery Take?
Closed heart surgery takes 1-3 hours on average. The duration of the surgical operation may vary according to the type of heart disease, age of the patient and other diseases. You can get detailed information from a Cardiovascular Surgeon.
How Many Hours Does Heart Valve Surgery Take?
Heart valve surgery performed with minimally invasive surgery takes an average of 1.5 – 2 hours. The recovery process is also faster after surgery with minimally invasive methods with 3-4 cm incisions from the patient’s armpit or the side of the chest. However, patients have a lower risk of complications after valve replacement with closed heart surgery. You should definitely consult your cardiovascular surgeon.
What Are the Symptoms of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)?
Since Atrial Septal Defect does not cause any serious symptoms for a long time, it is noticed in some patients at a very late age. Depending on the size and number of holes in ASD disease, patients may experience different symptoms. In some patients, it may cause problems such as palpitation, shortness of breath, fatigue and inability to gain weight.
Frequent lung infections such as bronchitis and risk of heart failure may also be seen more frequently in ASD patients. The symptoms caused by ASD can also manifest in different ways, depending on the age and general health of the patient.
Is Underarm Heart Surgery Safe?
Cardiac surgeries performed under the armpit or with minimally invasive techniques are as reliable as other methods and are less risky. Especially in experienced hands, if there are surgeons who have performed minimally invasive surgery for a long time, have had scientific studies on this subject, have made their presentations in the country and abroad, and have declared their patients, it is much more reliable than the other opening. Another feature is that it carries less risk than the other method, as no ribs and no muscles are cut in this surgery.
What are Cardiovascular Diseases?
The pulmonary valve is the 3-leaf valve located at the beginning of the vein through which the dirty blood is sent from the right ventricle to the lungs. It ensures that the pumped dirty blood to be sent to the lungs goes in one direction and does not return.
They may occur as congenital absence of valve or stenosis in the heart valve. Most of the stenosis in the pulmonary valve is congenital, that is, congenital. However, pulmonary valve insufficiency can also be seen.
Who is Minimally Invasivecan not performed?
Minimally invasive heart surgery, which is one of the heart and vascular surgery techniques, can generally be applied to all patients in heart valve replacements and coronary bypass surgeries. However, triple coronary bypass may not be possible when three or more vessels need to be replaced, and when coronary bypass surgery with a heart valve is required. In addition, it may not be possible to perform surgery with minimal incisions in patients with advanced lung disease.
What are Cardiovascular Diseases?
Cardiovascular diseases can be congenital or can occur later. Congenital heart diseases occur as a result of some disorders that occur during the development of the heart in the mother’s womb. Heart hole is one of the examples of congenital heart diseases. While these diseases are sometimes noticed at birth, sometimes they can show their symptoms in the following years. Due to genetic reasons or other reasons, subsequent heart diseases may also occur. The most common heart diseases are heart valve diseases seen in 4 valves, namely mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve and pulmonary valve in the heart, and cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease due to stenosis or occlusion of the vessels feeding the heart.
