Frequently Asked Questions

Do Turkish hospitals use advanced technology for Angiography?

Yes, Numerous hospitals and cardiology clinics in Turkey are outfitted with cutting-edge diagnostic and interventional technologies for angiography. They utilise high-resolution digital imaging systems, catheter-based techniques, and 3D angiographic tools that allow for a detailed view of blood vessels. Top-tier institutions also provide minimally invasive procedures and hybrid operating rooms to tackle more complex cases.

Do Turkish doctors have experience with Angiography procedures?

Yes, Turkish cardiologists and interventional radiologists possess a wealth of experience in performing both diagnostic and therapeutic angiographies, which include coronary, cerebral, and peripheral angiographies. Many of these professionals have honed their skills through training or fellowships in Europe or the United States, and they frequently attend international medical congresses. They excel in both traditional and cutting-edge catheter-based techniques.

Do Turkish hospitals assist foreign patients undergoing Angiography?

Turkish hospitals are well-equipped to assist international patients seeking Angiography procedures, and MediGence plays a crucial role in this process. They offer comprehensive packages that include everything from the surgery and hospital stay to accommodation, airport transfers, and online consultations with top surgeons. MediGence works with accredited hospitals in Turkey, ensuring that the care provided meets international standards. Plus, they have dedicated case managers who are there to support you throughout your medical journey.

Can I consult the cardiologist or specialist online before I travel, and how can I access their patient reviews?

Yes, MediGence offers online video consultations with some of the best cardiologists and interventional radiologists before you embark on your journey. This service helps you evaluate your health, understand your treatment options, and ask any pertinent questions. You can book your appointments, read verified patient reviews, and explore doctor profiles that include their credentials, success stories, and support in various languages—all conveniently on the MediGence website.

What education, credentials, and experience do Turkish cardiologists have?

Turkish cardiologists usually have national board certifications in both internal medicine and cardiology. Many of them also specialise in areas like interventional cardiology or vascular imaging. They often pursue fellowships in countries such as the U.S., the UK, or Germany and are members of esteemed organisations, including the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the Turkish Society of Cardiology (TKD). Most of these professionals boast over a decade of practical experience and are fluent in the English language.

How do I check the credibility of a cardiologist or radiologist in Turkey?

To make sure you're choosing a credible doctor, here are some steps to follow:

  • Verify that the doctor is registered with the Turkish Medical Association (TTB).
  • Look for their affiliations with hospitals that have JCI accreditation.
  • Check if they are members of global organisations.
  • Explore their professional profiles on platforms like LinkedIn or ResearchGate.
  • Don't forget to read independent patient reviews on trusted sites, such as MediGence or Google Reviews.
What is the recovery time for an Angiography in Turkey?

The recovery period following a diagnostic angiography is generally short—most patients can leave the hospital the same day or after just one night. You might feel some mild discomfort for a day or two. If you need a stent or other procedures, it could take a few more days to recover. It's wise to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for about a week and to schedule a follow-up with your specialist.

Can angiography be repeated if needed?

Yes, Angiography can be repeated if symptoms persist, if new concerns arise, or for follow-up after a previous intervention. However, it’s usually recommended only when necessary to limit exposure to contrast dye and radiation.
