About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery at Acibadem Healthcare Group Istanbul

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery at the Acibadem Healthcare Group offers the full range of medical services for the diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The department admits patients of all age groups, ranging from newborns to elderly patients. With state-of-the-art technical equipment and highly qualified medical staff, the department is one of the best medical facilities in the area of its specialization in the national medical arena. This is confirmed by high treatment success rates and minimal mortality after open-heart surgery (less than 1.6%, while Euroscore risks for such interventions reach 3.8%). The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Ayşe Sarıoğlu.

The early diagnostics of cardiac diseases is very important for the successful treatment results. The department has the very latest diagnostic systems, for example, dual-source 64-slice CT with 2 radiation sources, positron emission computed tomography and equipment for instant computed tomography – this is the fastest tomography device with low-dose radiation, which performs angiography of coronary vessels in 0.25 seconds. The department also carries out many other cardiological examinations, particularly, ECG, stress ECG, echocardiography, stress echocardiography, Holter monitoring, myocardial perfusion imaging, cardiac MRI, PET-CT and others. The diagnostic options are complemented by coronary angiography. This is an effective and reliable diagnostic procedure, which is carried out within the Catheter Laboratory and always on an inpatient basis. It serves for the examination of coronary arteries after the injection of contrast medium through special catheters.

A distinctive feature of the department is its special competence in cardiac interventions using the Da Vinci Surgical System. The robotic operations are regularly performed in patients with coronary artery disease. The Da Vinci Surgical System is also used for mitral valve repair, mitral valve replacement, and tricuspid valve repair. Such interventions have fairly high success rates, as well as many benefits, including minimal blood loss and pain, reduced risk of infection, and rapid recovery after surgery.

It should be noted that the department also specializes in the treatment of heart diseases in children. The most common diagnostic tests in children include electrocardiography (ECG), chest X-ray, echocardiography and Doppler scanning, cardiac catheterization, electrophysiological tests, and cardiac MRI. The department also carries out fetal echocardiography, which helps to detect cardiological abnormalities before the birth of the baby.

Certain cardiac pathologies require catheterization and surgical intervention, for example, atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrioventricular septal defect, aortic stenosis, and others. It should also be noted that in addition to top-class diagnostic and therapeutic services, the department's specialists have excellent qualifications in comprehensive cardiс rehabilitation, which helps to consolidate the treatment results.
