International Patient Heart Surgery Center
From remote medical record review to hospital admission, surgery, discharge, and post-operative online follow-up, every step is coordinated for patients traveling from abroad.
Treatment Programs
For suitable coronary artery disease cases, a smaller incision approach can support a more comfortable recovery pathway compared with conventional open-chest access. Eligibility is decided after angiography and clinical review.
Review treatment journey
Mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valve procedures are planned with imaging-led evaluation, surgical risk assessment, and a recovery plan that accounts for travel timing and follow-up needs.
Review treatment journey
Aortic aneurysm, aortic root disease, dissection, EVAR, and TEVAR cases are reviewed with detailed CT imaging so the safest surgical or endovascular pathway can be selected before travel.
Review treatment journeyWith the experience of 25,000 cardiac surgeries
Angiography, echocardiography, CT, lab results, and medical history are reviewed before you travel. The goal is to clarify diagnosis, surgical suitability, expected hospital stay, and the documents needed for admission.
Your treatment is carried out by a cardiovascular surgery team using advanced imaging, minimally invasive techniques where appropriate, intensive care planning, and multilingual patient coordination.
Discharge instructions, medication planning, wound care guidance, flight timing discussions, and online follow-up help patients and families stay connected after leaving Turkey.
Led by Prof. Dr. Tayfun Aybek, the cardiovascular surgery team combines scientific planning, surgical experience, and patient-centered coordination for people traveling to Turkey for care.
Meet the teamKnow When to Seek Care
If you are considering treatment abroad, sharing recent tests and symptom history before travel can help the team decide whether urgent or planned evaluation is appropriate.
Palpitations, fainting, dizziness, or rhythm changes can be related to structural heart disease and should be evaluated with ECG, imaging, and clinical history.
Pressure, burning, or tightness that increases with exertion may indicate reduced blood flow to the heart and may require coronary evaluation.
Breathlessness during activity or rest may be associated with coronary artery disease, valve disease, or heart failure and should be reviewed carefully.
Persistent fatigue can be an early sign that the heart is under strain, especially when it appears with breathlessness, chest discomfort, or reduced exercise capacity.
Swelling in the ankles or legs can occur with circulation problems or heart failure, particularly when accompanied by weight gain or breathlessness.
Pre-Travel Diagnostic Review
International patients can share existing reports before traveling. When further testing is needed in Turkey, diagnostic planning may include angiography, echocardiography, CT angiography, and laboratory assessment.
Shows narrowed or blocked coronary arteries and helps guide bypass or catheter-based treatment planning.
Evaluates heart structure, valve function, heart muscle performance, and signs of heart failure without radiation.
Provides detailed cross-sectional images of the heart, aorta, and vascular structures for surgical planning.
A Coordinated Pathway
Medical travel is not only about the operation. It requires timing, documents, communication, family support, hospital stay planning, and a reliable follow-up channel after returning home.
Common Cardiovascular Disease
Plaque buildup inside the arteries can reduce blood flow to the heart and may cause chest discomfort, fatigue, shortness of breath, or heart attack. Early diagnosis and a suitable treatment plan are essential before deciding on travel and surgery.
Ask for evaluationInternational Patient Process
Share angiography, echo, CT, blood tests, medications, and previous operation notes if available.
The team reviews suitability, possible treatment options, estimated hospital stay, and required pre-op tests.
Arrival timing, hospital admission, translation needs, and family support are coordinated before your trip.
After discharge, online communication supports medication, wound care, lifestyle guidance, and control visits.
Patient Trust
Review themes mention reassuring communication before surgery, detailed explanations, and attentive follow-up from the doctor and team.
Patient family feedbackFamilies describe feeling supported through bypass, valve, and aortic surgery journeys, especially during the decision and recovery phases.
Google review summaryFeedback frequently points to surgical experience, human connection, and the comfort of being able to reach the care team when needed.
