Years of Experience
Our hospital provides world-class services across a wide range of procedures, from the simplest vascular diseases to the most complex heart transplant operations.
Our children's hearts are our most precious trust. From newborns to adolescence, congenital heart anomalies, heart defect repairs, and valve diseases are treated with the most precise techniques by our expert team, who have received specialized training in pediatric cardiac surgery.
Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, these operations are performed without opening the chest cavity (through only a few millimeters of incisions) using robotic arms. This method minimizes the risk of infection, shortens hospital stays, and allows the patient to return to normal life much faster. It is safely used in bypass and heart valve surgeries.
It is a life-saving technology for patients with advanced heart failure who do not respond to standard treatments. Artificial heart devices take over the heart's pumping function, allowing patients to survive and improving their quality of life.
Coronary Bypass Surgery: This procedure is performed to restore adequate blood flow to the heart by bypassing blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. In addition to traditional methods, the patient's recovery process is accelerated by robotic and minimally invasive (small incision)techniques in suitable patients.
Mitral Valve Surgery: In the treatment of mitral valve narrowing or leakage (insufficiency), our priority is always valve repair. The repair method used by our team, based on experience gained from over 2,000 cases, frees patients from the need for lifelong blood thinners and preserves the heart’s natural structure. In cases where repair is not possible, the mechanical or biological prosthetic valve most suitable for the patient’s age is used for valve replacement.
Valve Repair and Replacement: Whenever possible, repairing (restoring) the patient's own valve is preferred. In cases where repair is not possible, a mechanical or biological valve replacement is performed, depending on the patient's age and condition.
Non-surgical heart valve replacement using the TAVI method: This is a revolutionary treatment method for patients with aortic valve stenosis who are at high risk for open heart surgery or are elderly. Unlike traditional surgeries, the chest cavity is not opened. Often without even needing general anesthesia, a new biological valve is implanted into the narrowed aortic valve via an incision in the groin, just like in an angiography procedure. Since the breastbone is not cut, there is no surgical wound, and the risk of infection is very low. Patients are usually discharged 1-2 days after the procedure and can quickly and safely return to their daily lives.
Peripheral Arterial Disease: These are circulatory disorders caused by the narrowing or blockage of veins in the legs. A wide range of treatments is offered, from lifestyle changes to balloon/stent procedures (angioplasty) and surgical interventions. Early diagnosis is critical in preventing limb amputation.
Aesthetic Varicose Vein Treatment: Varicose veins, which cause pain and an unsightly appearance in the legs, can be treated quickly and painlessly with modern, non-surgical methods such as laser, radiofrequency, foam sclerotherapy, and adhesives. The patient can return to their daily life the same day.
Endoscopic aortic valve surgery is a heart valve replacement procedure performed using minimally invasive techniques. Compared to traditional open-heart surgery, it is performed through smaller incisions, which speeds up the recovery process, reduces the risk of infection, and shortens the hospital stay. This method offers a comfortable and safe option for the treatment of aortic valve diseases.
Aortic valve repair and replacement are surgical procedures performed to resolve issues in the aortic valve, which regulates blood flow from the heart. The repair technique preserves the existing valve, whereas replacement involves using either a mechanical or biological valve. Both methods are selected based on the patient's condition and aim to improve quality of life.
TAVI is an innovative, non-surgical treatment method for replacing the aortic valve without the need for open-heart surgery. A prosthetic valve is inserted through the groin or chest, resulting in a shorter recovery time. It is an ideal option, particularly for elderly patients
Aortic valve regurgitation occurs when the heart's main valve fails to close properly, allowing blood to leak backward. Symptoms may include palpitations, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Treatment depends on the severity of the disease and may include medication, valve repair, or surgical valve replacement.

Heart Valve Replacement via Small Incision Without Stopping the Heart
Ms. Günay presented to our clinic complaining of severe dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, inability to walk, and fainting—symptoms that began shortly after a pacemaker battery replacement. Evaluations of the patient, who had previously reported no complaints, revealed significant leakage and valve insufficiency.
A decision to operate was made following assessments by Cardiovascular Surgeon Prof. Cengiz Köksal, MD and his team. The procedure was performed via a small incision in the armpit without stopping the heart. The valve was replaced due to the existing issue, and the necessary surgical intervention was successfully completed. We wish Ms. Günay, who has quickly regained her health, a long, healthy, and peaceful life with her loved ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cardiovascular Surgery for
What are the advantages of Robotic Surgery (Minimally Invasive Surgery) in heart surgery?
Because the breastbone is not cut, postoperative pain is much less. The risk of bleeding and infection is low. Patients are usually discharged within a few days and return to their normal lives much sooner compared to traditional methods.
In heart valve disorders, is repair or replacement better?
Worldwide and in our clinic, the first choice is always to repair the patient's own heart valve. The repair method eliminates the need for the patient to take blood thinners for life and better preserves heart function. However, if the valve structure is not suitable for repair, it is replaced with a prosthetic (mechanical or biological) valve that best suits the patient's profile.
How long does it take to return to normal life after coronary bypass surgery?
Although it varies depending on the surgical technique applied, our patients are generally discharged 5-7 days after the surgery. Patients who undergo minimally invasive (small incision) or robotic surgery can return to their desk jobs and normal lives within 2-3 weeks, while full recovery after open surgery can take 1-2 months.
Is "Artificial Heart Transplantation" applicable to everyone with advanced heart failure?
Artificial heart devices (LVADs) are used for patients with advanced heart failure who do not respond to drug therapy and are awaiting a heart transplant. A patient's suitability is determined by a council formed after comprehensive cardiological and surgical tests.
