Our department uses the most modern techniques for the diagnosis and surgical treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. We treat patients of all ages, from newborns to adults. Treatments are carried out in the modern, peaceful environment of Anadolu Medical Center. Our internationally renowned team offers every patient personalised care, which makes a great difference to patients and their families.
Adult cardiac surgery
In our adult cardiac surgery unit, we perform traditional or minimally invasive procedures for coronary bypass, valve repair or replacement, and the treatment of aortic aneurysms and heart rhythm disorders. Our department also specialises in hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, pulmonary thromboembolism (pulmonary thromboendarterectomy) and diseases of the aorta.
Coronary bypass surgery
Beating-heart (off-pump) or on cardiopulmonary bypass
Alternative myocardial revascularisation procedures (transmyocardial laser revascularisation)
Minimally invasive coronary bypass procedures
Heart valve repair and replacement
Mitral / aortic / tricuspid valve repair
Valve-sparing procedures
Percutaneous aortic valve replacement (without surgery)
Surgical treatment of endocarditis
Repair of aortic aneurysms and dissections
Bentall procedure and aortic arch replacement
Endovascular interventions
Hybrid procedures
Arrhythmia surgery
Atrial fibrillation ablation
Surgical division of the bundle of Kent (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome)
Surgical treatment of heart failure (surgical alternative to heart transplantation)
Ventricular reconstruction procedures
Coronary artery bypass surgery – valve repair
Use of cardiac prostheses
Biventricular pacemaker / defibrillator implantation
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery:
In minimally invasive cardiac surgery, cardiac surgeons operate on the heart through small incisions on the right side of the chest, as an alternative to open-heart surgery.
In robot-assisted cardiac surgery, the physician works from a console controlling robotic instruments; these instruments perform the operation with precise, small-amplitude movements.
Circulatory / respiratory support
ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) procedures
Vascular surgery / endovascular procedures
The most modern techniques are used for the diagnosis and treatment of venous and arterial diseases. Our interventional team includes vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists and cardiologists.
Surgical treatment of aneurysms and obstructive arterial disease
Endovascular repairs
Endovenous procedures
Varicose vein surgery
Stripping and excision
Endoscopic subfascial ligation of veins
Endovenous laser treatment and ablation
Sclerotherapy
