The Cardiac Surgery Division maintains a full-service program for the surgical correction of cardiac disorders. It offers an extensive range of cardiac surgical services from repairing congenital heart defects in infants and children to performing other complex procedures for high-risk adult patients. Cardiac surgeons perform coronary artery by-pass grafting (CABG), valve repair or replacement procedures and thoracic aneurysms.
Acıbadem Healthcare Group cardiovascular surgeons have engaged in a new era of cardiac surgery that promises to improve the outcomes significantly by introducing “Fast Track Recovery” protocol to cardiac surgery. With the development of the fast track recovery protocol, Acıbadem Healthcare Group surgeons can achieve results that are safe, precise and reproducible; but with significant benefits to the patient in terms of decreased postoperative pain, recovery time, blood usage and most importantly decreased mortality and morbidity.
In the CVS Department, here are some of the procedures;
- Neonatal & Infant Cardiac Surgery
- TGA Surgery & Arterial Switch
- Ross Procedure
- Extracardiac Conduits
- Fontan Procedure
- Minimal Invasive and Video Asisted Cardiac Surgery
- Radiofrequence Ablation and Maze Procedure
- CABG with Arteriel Conduits & Valve Surgery
- Cardiac Reoperations
- Endovascular stent grafting
- Peripheral vascular surgery
- Vanous surgery
Every year over 1500 patients undergoes open heart surgeries at Acıbadem Hospitals. “Accelerated Recovery Protocol” (ARP) is being executed in Cardiovascular Surgery intensive care units, for the first time in Turkey. ARP is a chain of procedures which aims to reduce the time of being dependent to artificial respiratory machine in intensive care unit.
The consistency of quality is one of our main goals and we are using certain risk determination methods, which commonly used worldwide. In this purpose, once again for the first time in Turkey, EuroSCORE risk determination system has been used in our department. According to this, the exact mortality rate was found 0,001, while the expected rate according to preoperative risk profile was 0,033.
