Heart valve repair is a surgical intervention usually performed in cases where the heart valve is damaged due to congenital abnormalities, degenerative conditions, or infections. In this procedure, a damaged or dysfunctional heart valve is usually repaired or reshaped to restore its former functionality. Repair of the valve is usually performed with the experience of heart valve surgeons and the use of modern surgical techniques. Heart valve repair may offer a more conservative approach than complete valve replacement and aims to optimize heart function by preserving the patient’s natural valve. This surgical intervention is a customized procedure for the treatment of heart valve diseases that is planned and performed depending on the individual’s specific situation.

Heart bypass surgery is a surgical intervention performed to correct blood flow problems caused by blockages in the coronary arteries. In this procedure, a small section is usually made through the ribcage and a new path is created beyond the blockages using the patient’s own veins or an allograft (another person’s vein). Bypass surgery improves blood flow to provide adequate oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle and may reduce the risk of heart attack. Along with modern surgical techniques and advanced cardiological care, this surgery is often used as an effective method of treating serious problems related to cardiovascular disease.

Vascular occlusion refers to the situation where plaques formed on the inner surface of the vessel, usually as a result of a process called atherosclerosis, narrow or block the vascular lumen. These plaques are formed by the accumulation of fat, cholesterol, calcium and other substances on the artery walls. Vascular occlusion can restrict blood flow, preventing blood carrying oxygen and nutrients from reaching organs, which can lead to serious health problems. Conditions such as heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease may result from vascular occlusion. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. Treatment for atherosclerosis may include lifestyle changes, medications, angioplasty, stent placement, or sometimes surgery. Early diagnosis and effective treatment play an important role in preventing complications due to vascular occlusion.

Wrist angiography is an invasive cardiovascular procedure commonly known as coronary angiography. In this procedure, doctors insert a catheter into a small artery in the wrist area and then inject contrast material to take images of the heart vessels. This technique is less invasive and poses fewer risks to patients than the traditional femoral artery approach. Wrist angiography is used to evaluate and treat blockages in the heart vessels. At the same time, this method, which allows patients to recover faster, can be preferred especially in cases that do not require surgical intervention.
