Methods of Treatment

What is the level of qualification of cardiologists in Turkey?

Turkey has highly qualified cardiologists, many of whom  received their education and completed internships in leading medical institutions around the world, such as Germany, South Korea, Spain and the United States. Among them are renowned professors and cardiac surgeons with many years of experience who specialize in the treatment of various heart and vascular diseases. They regularly participate in international conferences, conduct research and publish in scientific journals, which confirms their high professional level. Turkish cardiologists treat successfully conditions such as coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, heart failure and congenital heart defects, using modern diagnostic and treatment methods.

What surgical and minimally invasive procedures are performed in Turkish clinics?

Turkish clinics offer a wide range of surgical and minimally invasive procedures in the field of cardiology, such as:

Coronary artery bypass grafting is an operation that restores blood flow to the heart muscle.
Angioplasty and stenting are the expansion of narrowed arteries and the installation of stents to improve blood flow.
Implantation of pacemakers and defibrillators are devices that regulate the heart rhythm.
Radiofrequency ablation is the treatment of arrhythmias by removing pathological areas of heart tissue.
Replacement and plastic surgery of heart valves is the correction of valve defects to normalize blood flow.
Coronary angiography and angiography are methods for diagnosing the condition of the coronary arteries.
Surgical treatment of aortic aneurysm is the removal or strengthening of weakened areas of the aorta.
Heart transplant.
These procedures are performed using the latest equipment and under the guidance of experienced specialists, which ensures a high level of safety and effectiveness of treatment.

What is the length of stay and recovery after cardiac surgery in Turkey?

The length of hospital stay and recovery depends on the type of intervention performed and the patient’s condition. For example, after coronary artery bypass grafting or heart valve replacement, the patient may stay in the hospital for 5 to 10 days. Minimally invasive procedures such as angioplasty or pacemaker installation require a shorter stay of 1 to 3 days. The full recovery period can take from several weeks to several months, depending on the complexity of the surgery and the individual characteristics of the patient. Turkish clinics offer rehabilitation programs that help speed up the recovery process and return to normal life.

Do clinics offer rehabilitation and support programs for patients with cardiovascular diseases?

Yes, Turkish hospitals offer comprehensive rehabilitation programs for patients with cardiovascular diseases. These programs include:

Physiotherapy and physical rehabilitation to restore physical activity.
Psychological support for patients and their families, helping to cope with the emotional aspects of treatment.
Nutrition and lifestyle counseling aimed at improving overall health.
Medical monitoring and regular examinations to assess the patient's condition and adjust treatment.
These measures are aimed at the full recovery of patients and minimizing the risk of recurrence of cardiovascular problems.

What living conditions are provided to patients and their accompanying persons?

Turkish clinics offer comfortable living conditions for both patients and their accompanying persons. Most hospitals have separate rooms with modern equipment and amenities, such as TV, Internet, and meals. Accompanying persons are provided with special conditions of stay, including the possibility of staying in hotels or apartments located near the clinic. We undertake the full organization of the trip, including transfers, hotel reservations and excursions.

What documents and medical information do I need to provide in order to receive treatment?

To receive treatment in Turkish clinics, patients need to provide the following documents:

  1. Medical history - a detailed description of the disease, including previous diagnoses and test results.
  2. Diagnostic results - data from CT, MRI, PET-CT, biopsy and other examinations.
  3. Laboratory analyses - data from blood, urine and other necessary tests.
  4. Medical reports - recommendations and prescriptions from treating physicians in your country.

Additional documents may be required to accurately assess the patient's condition and develop an individualised treatment plan. Leave your phone number and our consultant will provide a list of the required data, taking into account your situation: from initial dispatch to treatment and travel plans.

 

We will arrange a consultation if you need to clarify any points. Based on the results of the processing of the documents and on the diagnosis, our specialists will select a clinic and a doctor.

How are the language barriers resolved and are translation services provided?

Turkish clinics provide professional interpreters for patients speaking different languages, including Russian, English, German and others. However, it is worth understanding that the interpreters provided by the clinic have limited working hours and serve a number of patients. While the consultant-interpreter provided by our company Meddays leads only one patient and is in touch with you 24/7, even at night. If the patient is hospitalized or comes for an examination, the interpreter accompanies personally.

What measures are in place to ensure the safety and quality control of treatment?

Turkish clinics adhere to international standards of safety and quality of medical services. All medical centres undergo regular inspections and accreditations, which confirms the high level of medical care. The clinics have quality control commissions that monitor compliance with treatment protocols and ensure patient safety. Only certified medical products and equipment are used, and procedures are carried out under the strict supervision of experienced specialists..Special commissions monitor compliance with safety standards, which minimizes the risk of complications and side effects. Patients can also count on qualified assistance in emergency situations and round-the-clock monitoring of their condition.
