Cardiovascular Surgery in Turkey ? Advanced Treatments for Heart and Vascular Diseases

Introduction

Cardiovascular Surgery is a highly specialized medical field that focuses on the diagnosis, surgical, and minimally invasive treatment of heart and vascular diseases. From coronary artery bypass surgery to valve repair, aortic aneurysm treatment, and varicose vein therapies, this discipline provides life-saving interventions for patients suffering from cardiovascular conditions.

At SkyUp Health, we work with Turkey?s leading cardiovascular surgeons and internationally accredited hospitals equipped with the latest technology. Our goal is to ensure that patients receive safe, effective, and innovative cardiovascular care at affordable costs.

Conditions Treated in Cardiovascular Surgery

1. Coronary Artery Disease ; Bypass Surgery

Blocked coronary arteries restrict blood flow to the heart muscle, leading to chest pain (angina) or heart attacks.

• Symptoms: Chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, irregular heartbeat.
  
  
• Treatment: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), performed either through traditional open-heart surgery or minimally invasive techniques.
  
  

2. Heart Valve Diseases ; Valve Surgery

Cardiac valves may narrow (stenosis) or leak (regurgitation), preventing normal blood circulation.

• Symptoms: Fatigue, swelling in the legs, dizziness, palpitations.
  
  
• Treatment: Valve repair or replacement using minimally invasive or robotic-assisted surgery, with biological or mechanical valves.
  
  

3. Aortic Aneurysm ; Endovascular Surgery

An aortic aneurysm is a dangerous enlargement of the main artery carrying blood from the heart.

• Symptoms: Back or abdominal pain, pulsating sensation in the abdomen.
  
  
• Treatment: Endovascular stent grafting (EVAR) or open surgery depending on the severity and location of the aneurysm.
  
  

4. Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

PAD occurs when blood vessels outside the heart (usually legs or arms) become narrowed or blocked.

• Symptoms: Leg pain during walking, slow-healing wounds, numbness.
  
  
• Treatment: Angioplasty, stent placement, bypass surgery, or thrombectomy to restore blood flow.
  
  

5. Varicose Veins ; Venous Diseases

Varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can cause discomfort and increase the risk of complications.

• Treatments include:
  
  
  • Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT)
    
    
  • Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
    
    
  • Foam sclerotherapy
    
    
  • Surgical vein stripping (in advanced cases)
    
    

6. Cardiac Tumors

Although rare, tumors can develop inside the heart or spread from other organs.

• Symptoms: Fatigue, chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat.
  
  
• Treatment: Surgical removal of tumors to restore cardiac function and prevent obstruction.
  
  

7. Buerger?s Disease (Thromboangiitis Obliterans)

A severe vascular disease strongly associated with smoking. It causes blockages in small and medium-sized arteries, often leading to tissue damage, ulcers, or even gangrene.

• Treatment: Smoking cessation, medications to improve circulation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and in advanced cases, vascular bypass or stem cell therapy.
