About the clinic
Coronary bypass surgery at Prof. Öztekin Oto Heart Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, provides a long-term solution for restoring blood flow to the heart. This procedure is led by Prof. Dr. Öztekin Oto, a surgeon with over 35 years of experience who previously served as the President of the European Society of Cardiovascular Surgery. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate and is registered with Health Türkiye.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The clinic specializes in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using a variety of techniques. Surgeons primarily use the classical open-heart approach with a heart-lung machine. For specific cases where the vessel diameter is over 2mm, they may perform beating-heart surgery. This off-pump technique allows the heart to keep beating while the surgeon works on the anterior or lateral vessels. The operation typically lasts between 3 and 4 hours.
Superior Graft Selection
To improve the success of the surgery, Prof. Dr. Öztekin Oto prefers using arterial grafts. These include the right and left internal mammary arteries and the left arm artery. Data from the clinic shows that 90% of these grafts remain functional for more than 10 years. Choosing arterial grafts over venous ones often leads to better long-term results for the patient.
Expertise of Prof. Dr. Öztekin Oto
Prof. Dr. Öztekin Oto is a Cardiovascular Surgeon and a Fellow of both the European and American Colleges of Cardiology. He performed the first heart-lung transplant in Turkey and has published over 100 international papers. Before leading his own clinic, he founded the Cardiovascular Surgery department at Dokuz Eylül University. Over his career, he has delivered over 2,000 lectures on heart surgery.
Recovery and Patient Stay
The treatment process is designed for efficiency and safety. Patients arrive one day before the surgery for a complete diagnostic check, including an ECG and echocardiography. After the procedure, the recovery timeline includes:
- Minimum of 24 hours in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
- Total hospital stay of approximately 3 days.
- Wait time of 5 days before it is safe to fly home.
Once home, patients must follow sternum precautions for about one month. This involves avoiding heavy lifting and starting a daily walking routine. Most individuals return to work and normal activity after the initial healing period. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss your specific medical needs.
