How to Apply the Mitra Clip?
Preparation Phase The patient undergoes transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), blood tests, and cardiac evaluation. General anaesthesia is administered and vital signs are monitored. Femoral Access A 24F special catheter sheath is placed in the right femoral vein. Transseptal catheterisation is used to access the left atrium from the right atrium. Mitra Clip Placement The catheter is […]
Patients Suitable for Mitral Clip
What is a Mitral Clip?
The mitral clip is a minimally invasive treatment method used in patients with mitral valve regurgitation. It is particularly preferred for patients at high risk for open heart surgery and who do not respond to drug therapy. The procedure reduces mitral valve regurgitation and improves the heart’s pumping function by connecting the mitral valve leaflets […]
How Is Ablation Therapy Performed?
Preparation Stage Eating is stopped 8 hours before the procedure, and fluid intake is stopped 4 hours before. Blood thinners (Warfarin 5 days before, NOAC 48 hours before) are discontinued. ECG, echocardiography and blood tests are performed. Pacemaker patients undergo device check. Anaesthesia Administration Deep sedation is used for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and general anaesthesia […]
Who is Ablation Therapy Suitable For?
What is Ablation Therapy?
Ablation therapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to correct heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias). Using specialised catheters, the abnormal heart tissue causing the electrical activity is rendered ineffective through the use of radiofrequency energy or cryotherapy. This treatment is preferred for rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and tachycardia, especially in patients who […]
HOW TRICKVALVE IS APPLIED
TRICKVALVE is applied in an average of 45 minutes with a minimally invasive procedure. In the catheterization performed through the femoral artery, the valve is placed using special catheters with CarboMedics® technology and 3D angiography systems. The procedure has a 95% success rate and patients stay in the hospital for only 2-3 days after the […]
TRICKVALVE SUITABLE PATIENTS
Trickvalve treatment is a safe alternative developed for high-risk patients over 70 years of age or with an EuroSCORE II value greater than 8%. It is ideal for patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III-IV symptoms who are at high risk for traditional open-heart surgery. Patients with the following characteristics are suitable for […]
WHAT IS TRICKVALVE?
TrickValve is an innovative valve system used particularly in patients over 70 years of age and those at high risk. With its 3-layer Grade 5 titanium design, it offers a lifespan of 15-20 years and precisely controls blood flow. The system, which has shown a 95% success rate in clinical studies, requires only a 45-minute […]
How is Chronic TotalOcclusion (CTO) TreatmentPerformed?
CTO treatment is performed to open completely blocked coronary arteries that obstruct blood flow to the heart muscle. This procedure is carried out by specially trained interventional cardiologists, in modern catheter laboratories and under local anaesthesia. During the procedure, the patient is monitored and their vital signs are continuously tracked. The treatment process begins by […]
