Frequently Asked Questions

Do Turkish hospitals use advanced technology for Double Valve Replacement?

Absolutely, many leading hospitals in Turkey are at the forefront of cardiovascular care, utilising cutting-edge technology to replace both valves. They employ techniques like robotic-assisted surgery, 3D echocardiography, minimally invasive procedures, and hybrid operating rooms. To ensure the utmost safety for patients, these facilities often rely on advanced anaesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass equipment, along with improved recovery protocols. Most reputable centres also achieve international accreditation from organisations such as ISO and JCI (Joint Commission International).

Do Turkish doctors have experience with Double Valve Replacement surgeries?

Yes, Turkish cardiothoracic surgeons are highly trained in performing complex heart valve surgeries, including simultaneous replacements of the aortic and mitral valves. They often treat patients from various countries and many have received training in North America or Europe. Depending on the patient's needs, they use both mechanical and bioprosthetic valves, all while following the internationally recognised guidelines set by the ESC and ACC/AHA.

What are the common indications for Double Valve Replacement?

Double valve replacement is typically recommended for patients experiencing severe issues with both the aortic and mitral valves, such as stenosis, regurgitation, or congenital defects. Some common symptoms to watch out for include:

  • Severe shortness of breath
  • Fatigue
  • Chest pain
  • Irregular heartbeat or atrial fibrillation
Can a Double Valve Replacement be permanent?

You're right—replacing both valves can significantly improve heart health and its overall function. Biological valves may need to be replaced after 10 to 20 years, but they generally don’t require long-term blood thinners. In contrast, mechanical valves can last for a lifetime, but they do require you to take anticoagulants for life. To ensure long-term success, it’s essential to make some lifestyle adjustments and stick to routine follow-ups.

Is Double Valve Replacement treatment available in Turkey?

Yes, Turkey is home to some top-notch cardiac procedures that are not only of high quality but also more affordable compared to many Western countries. Specialised cardiac centers provide a full range of services, including diagnostics, surgery, recovery in intensive care units, and rehabilitation. Many facilities even offer well-organised medical travel packages, making it easier for international patients to receive care.

What education, credentials, and experience do Turkish cardiac surgeons have?

In Turkey, cardiac surgeons undergo rigorous training and earn advanced degrees in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery. Many of them have participated in significant international cardiac conferences, engaged in clinical research, and completed fellowships in North America or Europe. It's a good idea to connect with organisations like:

  • European Society of Cardiology (ESC)
  • European Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Association (EACTS)
  • Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS)
How do I check the credibility of a cardiac surgeon in Turkey?

You can check their credentials by:

  • Verifying their registration with the Turkish Medical Association (TTB)
  • Looking into their hospital affiliation, ideally with JCI-accredited facilities
  • Requesting their professional resume from the International Office
  • Searching for memberships in organisations like STS, EACTS, or ESC
  • Reviewing their professional history and evaluations on hospital websites or LinkedIn.
What is the recovery time for Double Valve Replacement in Turkey?

Recovering from a double valve replacement in Turkey typically means spending about 10 to 14 days in the hospital, which includes a few days in the ICU. The whole recovery process typically takes around 8 to 12 weeks, during which patients participate in cardiac rehabilitation, manage their medications, and make lifestyle adjustments. Additionally, international hospitals provide follow-up care and support to help ensure a seamless healing journey.
