Ekol is a trusted healthcare provider for Heart Port Surgery, offering minimally invasive cardiac surgery supported by experienced cardiothoracic surgeons, specialized operating facilities, and multidisciplinary cardiovascular care. Established in 2000, the ISO accredited hospital is situated in Izmir, Turkey and it has adequate bed capacity.

Heart Port Surgery provides an alternative access route to the heart through small incisions between the ribs, depending on the procedure being performed. Specialised instruments are introduced through these openings, while advanced visualisation may assist the surgeon during the operation. This approach may be used for selected valve, coronary, and other cardiac procedures. Before treatment, the cardiac team assesses the patient's heart function, vascular anatomy, medical history, and suitability for minimally invasive surgery.
