Trabzon Cardiovascular Surgery

Cardiovascular Surgery focuses on the surgical treatment of diseases related to the heart and circulatory system by using the latest technologies and advanced surgical techniques. Our highly specialized cardiovascular surgeons provide both traditional surgical and minimally invasive endovascular procedures to ensure safe, effective, and comfortable treatment processes for patients.

Cardiovascular surgery allows early diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases affecting the coronary arteries, heart valves, major vessels, and cardiac structures. Using modern medical advancements, our specialists determine the most appropriate surgical treatment plan tailored to each patient’s condition and health needs.

Trabzon has become an important healthcare destination for cardiovascular treatments, offering internationally experienced surgeons, advanced medical infrastructure, and patient-focused healthcare services.

Cardiovascular Diseases We Treat

Our cardiovascular surgery department provides advanced diagnosis and surgical treatment for a wide range of heart and vascular diseases.

Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)

A heart attack occurs when heart muscles are deprived of oxygen due to blocked coronary arteries. If untreated, heart muscle cells begin to die, leading to permanent and life-threatening complications.

Heart Failure

Heart failure develops when the heart cannot pump sufficient blood and oxygen to meet the body’s needs. This condition significantly affects daily life and requires advanced medical and surgical treatment.

Angina (Chest Pain)

Angina occurs when reduced blood flow prevents the heart muscle from receiving enough oxygen. Chest pain usually increases during physical activity and improves with rest.

Hypertension

Hypertension is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases and occurs when blood pressure levels remain consistently high. While genetics may play a role, lifestyle and environmental factors also contribute.

Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension occurs when increased pressure affects the blood flow between the heart and lungs, placing strain on the right side of the heart.

Atherosclerosis (Vascular Hardening)

Fat and cholesterol accumulation inside arteries causes narrowing or blockage of blood vessels, reducing blood circulation and increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Pericardial Effusion

Pericardial effusion occurs when excess fluid accumulates between the layers of the pericardium, the protective membrane surrounding the heart.

Myocarditis

Myocarditis refers to inflammation of the heart muscle, often caused by infections spreading to cardiac tissue.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy involves thickening or enlargement of the heart muscle, leading to rhythm disturbances, shortness of breath, and heart failure.

Heart Valve Diseases

Congenital or acquired heart valve disorders may affect blood circulation and often require surgical repair or replacement after careful monitoring.

Aortic Diseases

The aorta is the body’s main artery responsible for distributing oxygen-rich blood. Conditions such as aortic aneurysm and rupture are life-threatening and require immediate surgical treatment.

Heart Tumors

Although rare, tumors can develop in the heart or spread from surrounding tissues. Surgical removal is often necessary, especially for symptomatic tumors.

Cardiovascular Surgery Procedures

Our department performs a wide range of advanced cardiovascular surgical procedures using modern technologies and minimally invasive methods whenever possible.

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)

Coronary bypass surgery is performed when coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked. During open-heart surgery, a healthy artery or vein taken from another part of the body is used to create a bypass around the blocked vessel, restoring normal blood flow to the heart.

Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting for Bypass Surgery

Healthy veins required for bypass surgery are obtained through small endoscopic incisions from the arms or legs. This minimally invasive technique reduces recovery time and surgical complications.

Coronary Angiography

Angiography allows detailed visualization of coronary arteries using contrast dye. It helps identify vessel blockages and supports treatment planning.

Radial (Wrist) Angiography

Wrist angiography is performed under local anesthesia and offers faster recovery and increased patient comfort compared to traditional angiography methods.

Heart Valve Surgery

Heart valve disorders caused by congenital defects or acquired diseases are treated through repair or replacement using mechanical or biological valve prostheses.

Aortic Aneurysm Surgery

Aortic aneurysms are balloon-like enlargements of the aorta that can rupture and become life-threatening. Surgical treatment is recommended when aneurysm size increases or rupture risk is detected.

Left Ventricular Aneurysm Repair

After a heart attack, aneurysm formation in the left ventricle may reduce heart function and increase stroke risk. Surgical repair restores heart performance and prevents complications.

Surgical Treatment of Heart Tumors

Heart tumors, whether benign or malignant, are surgically removed using minimally invasive surgical techniques whenever possible.

Peripheral Artery Bypass Surgery

Peripheral artery bypass surgery restores blood flow to limbs by bypassing blocked arteries using healthy vessels from other parts of the body.

ABI Test (Ankle-Brachial Index)

The ABI test is a non-invasive diagnostic method used to detect peripheral artery disease. Blood pressure cuffs are placed on the arms and legs to measure blood flow and identify vascular blockages.
