cardiovascular surgery department, Professor Ercan Eren and Surgeon Alper
Yüksel perform coronary bypass surgery, valve surgeries, large aortic vessel surgeries,
leg arteries, and varicose surgeries, carotid (carotid artery) surgeries
successfully.
Patients are followed up in the intensive care unit before and after surgery, thus the
success of the surgery and the health of the patient is guaranteed.
A heart-lung machine is used in open-heart surgery in
Reyap Hospital cardiovascular surgery department. During the surgery, the heart
and lungs are stopped for a while. During this period, the heart-lung machine
takes over the responsibility of these organs. After the necessary operation is
done, these organs take over their duties again.
Usually, three or more vessels are intervened in coronary
bypass operations. The duration of the operations varies according to the number
of vessels to be bypassed and additional interventions, but it usually takes
about 4 hours. The patient wakes up 4 to 6 hours after being taken to the
intensive care unit and disconnected from the respiratory support device.
After coronary bypass surgeries, patients usually become
able to meet their needs within 1 week and recover within 2-3 weeks.
In coronary bypass surgeries, the patient’s chest, arm
veins, and leg veins are selected as operation points.
“Mitral” and “aortic” valve surgeries are frequently performed in the cardiovascular surgery
department of Reyap Hospital. Surgery for advanced age-related calcification in
aortic valves is more frequently applied.
Arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation), which is frequently seen in mitral valve surgeries, are treated
by radiofrequency ablation. This method is applied in only a few clinics in
Turkey.
Valve repair methods are preferred in patients with mitral valve disorders. Mechanical valves with
longer durability are preferred in valve surgeries.
The same type of valves is also used in advanced age patients with a good general condition and
long life expectancy. Biological valves are applied to young women who want to
give birth or to elderly patients who would have difficulty in using blood
thinners.
Endovascular surgery (endostent) is preferred primarily in enlarged aorta surgeries. Stents that are
2-3 centimeters in diameter placed in the aorta, such as 1-millimeter stents
attached to the heart vessels, are successfully placed.
This procedure is carried out with the invasive methods of the radiology department. Surgical
methods in which the entire aorta is replaced are also used in large aortic
aneurysms.
It is a disease of enlargement and ballooning of the
ascending aorta. Operation is recommended for aneurysms of 50 mm or more since
the possibility of dissection and rupture development is high. It is the
excision of the aneurysmatic vessel using a heart-lung machine under general
anesthesia and an artificial vessel placement operation.
Varicose veins, a common vascular disease, are a venous
disease, and surgery is performed on patients who cannot be treated with
sclerotherapy. Successful bypass surgeries are performed on the abdominal aorta
and leg arteries in the Reyap Hospital cardiovascular surgery department.
Artificial veins are used in these surgeries.
Sclerotherapy can be performed without hospitalization.
In some cases, it can be used as a complementary therapy after surgery, or it
is frequently used in the treatment of relapses. Micro varicose veins can be
treated with the endovenous laser technique.
The rate of the constricting disease of the carotid
artery in patients with coronary heart disease is quite high (8-12%).
Therefore, the carotid vessels of every patient over the age of 55 who should
have coronary bypass surgery must be examined with color Doppler
Ultrasonography.
In patients with a stenosis of more than 70-80% before
surgery, the carotid artery is operated on both before cardiac surgery and (in
special cases) during cardiac surgery. In this surgery, the hard plaques
narrowing the carotid artery are removed and the carotid artery is expanded
with a patch if necessary.
Our patients are usually hospitalized the day before the
operation. During 2 to 5 hours of hospitalization breathing devices help the
patient’s pulmonary function to run. After 1 day of hospitalization in the
intensive care unit, and 3-4 days in the hospital room, the patient is
discharged.
