Heart and Vascular Diseases (Cardiology)

Heart and Vascular Diseases (Cardiology) in Turkey Turkey's hospitals, particularly the Heart Health Centers, provide services with state-of-the-art equipment and infrastructure to protect heart health, diagnose, and treat heart diseases in accordance with international standards. From newborns to adolescents and adults of all ages, there are facilities available in Turkey to diagnose and treat all types of heart diseases, including those that may arise during pregnancy, at Fetal Cardiology Units. Turkey is one of the leading reference centers in heart and vascular surgery and child heart health for its citizens and neighboring countries. It integrates various modules, including pediatric cardiology, adult cardiology, cardiac anesthesia, pediatric and adult cardiac intensive care, pediatric and newborn care, and cardiac radiology. Its main areas of interest and specialization include: Adult Cardiac Surgery:

• Coronary artery bypass surgery

• Heart valve surgery

• Major vessel and aortic surgery

• Endovascular procedures (TAVI, endovascular stenting, endovascular saphenous vein harvesting)

• Minimal invasive and robotic surgery

• Ventricular assist devices

Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery:

• Neonatal cardiac surgery (TGA surgery, hypoplastic left heart surgeries)

• Complex congenital heart surgery (Fontan, Ross, extracardiac conduit, aortic arch reconstruction, etc.)

• Mini-thoracotomy and minimally invasive pediatric heart surgeries

• Pediatric heart valve surgeries

• Reoperations

• ECMO and left ventricular assist devices
