Vascular Surgery in Turkey

Vascular Surgery in Turkey

Vascular surgery in Turkey provides evidence-based, affordable care for patients needing treatment of arteries, veins, and lymphatic conditions. DGS Healthcare coordinates vetted hospitals and specialist teams to deliver end-to-end services — from remote consultation and diagnostics to surgery and follow-up — so you can access high-quality vascular surgery turkey care with transparent costs and supported logistics.

Surgery details and recovery timeline

What is the Vascular Surgery in Turkey?

Vascular surgery is the medical specialty that diagnoses and treats disorders of the circulatory system — arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels. Treatments range from conservative management and medication to minimally invasive endovascular procedures and open operations, all aimed at restoring blood flow, relieving symptoms, and reducing the risk of serious results such as stroke, heart attack, or limb loss.

Typical diagnostic tests a vascular team uses include Doppler ultrasound, CT angiography (CTA), MR angiography and diagnostic angiography (angiogram). Many procedures are now endovascular (catheter‑based) — for example, angioplasty with stent placement — which typically shortens recovery compared with open surgery.

Common conditions treated by vascular surgery include:

  • Abdominal aortic and peripheral aneurysms
  • Peripheral artery disease (PAD) causing claudication or critical limb ischemia
  • Carotid artery narrowing (stroke prevention)
  • Varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and thrombectomy for acute clots

If you are a patient or family member wondering whether you need a vascular consultation, look for symptoms such as leg pain when walking, non-healing wounds, sudden limb coolness, or recurrent swelling. See the “Types of Vascular Surgery” section below to compare procedures and estimated recovery times, or contact us to arrange a remote assessment and an individualized treatment plan.

About Vascular Surgery in Turkey

Vascular surgery in Turkey covers the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of arterial, venous and lymphatic disorders with the goal of restoring blood flow and preventing complications. Many conditions are managed without open surgery — through lifestyle advice, medication and endovascular interventions — while others require operative repair or bypass. Combined approaches frequently reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.

When intervention is needed, vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists collaborate to select the most appropriate treatment — from angioplasty and stent placement to open repair or hybrid procedures. DGS Healthcare partners with experienced doctors and accredited hospitals to coordinate care, diagnostics, and post‑op follow-up across the entire patient journey.

Typical care pathway with our clinic partners:

  • Remote consultation and review of imaging by specialist doctors
  • On-site diagnostics (Doppler, CTA/MRA, angiogram) and multidisciplinary team (MDT) review
  • Recommendation of treatment (conservative, endovascular or open surgery) and clear informed consent
  • Surgery and post-operative care with bedside nursing and rehabilitation planning
  • Follow-up and coordination of aftercare when patients return home

Trust and quality: many partner hospitals are JCI‑accredited and operate under Turkish Ministry of Health standards; our teams include vascular surgeons with years of experience and specialised nursing staff to support patients before, during and after treatment. If you would like references, case summaries or details about specific surgeons and hospitals, contact us and we will provide verified information and patient testimonials.

Vascular Surgery Procedure in Turkey

Vascular surgery is a surgical specialty focused on the blood and lymphatic vessels that make up the circulatory system. The vascular system includes arteries, veins and capillaries that carry blood to and from the heart, plus the lymphatic vessels that return fluid to the circulation. Diseases of these vessels — from narrowing and blockages to aneurysms and clotting — are treated by a mix of medical management, minimally invasive endovascular techniques and open surgical procedures.

The lymphatic vessels transport lymphatic fluid and support immune function; dysfunction can cause swelling and infection risk. Vascular disease affects circulation and tissue health, but many conditions respond well to treatment. DGS Healthcare coordinates your journey from initial consultation through diagnostics, surgery if required, and follow-up care at accredited clinics and hospitals.

Vascular Surgeons in Turkey

Modern vascular surgery in Turkey is delivered by specialists who often complete vascular fellowships and focus their practice on endovascular and open procedures. These expert doctors and surgeons combine clinical assessment, imaging and multidisciplinary discussion to tailor treatment for each patient. Beyond operating, vascular surgeons advise on prevention, medication, exercise and lifestyle to reduce long-term risk.

Treatment options range from noninvasive care to complex reconstructions. In many centers, interventional radiology and vascular surgery teams work together — for example, in hybrid operating rooms where an endovascular stent can be placed and, if needed, open bypass performed the same day.

When to see a vascular surgeon:

  • Leg pain on walking (intermittent claudication) or rest pain
  • Non-healing foot or leg ulcers
  • Sudden limb coolness or pallor
  • Recurrent deep vein thrombosis or symptomatic varicose veins

How consultations are arranged: DGS Healthcare arranges an initial remote review of medical history and imaging by experienced vascular doctors. Where appropriate, patients are referred to accredited hospitals and specialist teams for on-site diagnostics and treatment planning. Many vascular surgeons in partner hospitals have years of experience and access to modern medical technology to perform both endovascular and open procedures.

Kinds of Conditions Treated with Vascular Surgery in Turkey

Vascular surgery in Turkey treats a wide spectrum of circulatory and lymphatic conditions that affect patients’ quality of life and long-term health. Some problems are managed medically or with lifestyle change, while others require minimally invasive endovascular procedures or open surgery to prevent serious outcomes such as stroke, heart attack or limb loss.

Common conditions treated include:

  • Peripheral artery disease (PAD) — causes claudication and, in severe cases, critical limb ischemia; treatment: angioplasty, stenting, atherectomy or bypass to improve blood flow and reduce amputation risk.
  • Abdominal aortic and peripheral aneurysms — treated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) or open surgical repair to prevent rupture and death.
  • Carotid artery stenosis — treated by carotid endarterectomy or stenting to lower stroke risk.
  • Venous disease, including varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency — managed with conservative care, sclerotherapy, laser or surgical options for symptom relief and improved quality of life (varicose vein procedures).
  • Acute arterial or venous thrombosis — treated by thrombectomy or catheter-directed thrombolysis to restore circulation and prevent life‑threatening complications.
  • Vascular access for dialysis — creation and maintenance of arteriovenous fistulae and grafts to ensure reliable hemodialysis access.

Key objectives and expected results:

  • Prevent rupture and death from aneurysms through timely repair.
  • Reduce stroke risk by treating critical carotid narrowing.
  • Save limbs and reduce amputation rates by re-establishing perfusion in advanced PAD.
  • Relieve symptoms (pain, swelling, ulceration) and restore function and quality of life.
  • Support colleagues in other specialties by managing vascular bleeding and complications related to diabetes and renal disease.

Example patient pathway (PAD): a patient with leg pain on walking undergoes Doppler ultrasound and CTA; the vascular team reviews imaging, recommends an endovascular procedure (angioplasty ± stent) when suitable, performs the procedure under local or general anesthesia, and provides post‑op rehabilitation and surveillance to reduce recurrence. Typical recovery ranges from same‑day discharge for simple endovascular procedures to several days for open bypass, depending on the procedure and patient comorbidities.

If you are considering treatment, DGS Healthcare’s clinical team will help match your condition to the most appropriate procedure and provide details on expected outcomes, recovery time and estimated cost. See the “Types of Vascular Surgery” section below for procedure descriptions and link to cost estimates.

Types of Vascular Surgery in Turkey

Vascular surgery in Turkey includes a broad spectrum of procedures tailored to a patient’s health history, anatomy and disease severity. Correct selection of treatment—medical therapy, endovascular intervention, open surgery, or a hybrid approach—can reduce symptoms, improve quality of life and increase survival. Below are the commonly performed procedures with concise, uniform descriptions to help patients understand indications, typical recovery and who is a candidate.

Angioplasty and Stenting in Turkey

What it is: A catheter-based (endovascular) procedure in which a balloon dilates a narrowed artery and a stent (metal mesh) may be implanted to keep the vessel open.

  • Indications: Peripheral artery disease (leg arteries), selected carotid or renal stenoses.
  • Typical hospital stay & recovery: Often same‑day to 1–2 days; return to light activity within days, full recovery in 1–3 weeks depending on the patient.
  • Who is a candidate: Patients with focal lesions suitable for endovascular repair or who are higher risk for open surgery.
  • Expected results: Improved blood flow, reduced claudication, and limb-salvage in many cases.

Atherectomy in Turkey

What it is: A minimally invasive technique using a specialized catheter to shave, vaporize or remove plaque from inside an artery.

  • Indications: Heavily calcified or occlusive peripheral lesions where angioplasty alone is insufficient.
  • Hospital stay & recovery: Often outpatient or overnight stay; recovery similar to angioplasty.
  • Who is a candidate: Selected PAD patients—decision made after CTA/angiogram assessment.
  • Expected results: Facilitates vessel lumen restoration and may improve patency when combined with stenting.

Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula and AV Graft

What they are: Surgical creation of vascular access for hemodialysis—either a native arteriovenous fistula (vein connected to artery) or an arteriovenous graft (synthetic conduit).

  • Indications: Patients requiring regular hemodialysis.
  • Hospital stay & recovery: Usually outpatient or 1 night; maturation time varies (weeks to months for fistula).
  • Who is a candidate: Patients with suitable vessels; preoperative vessel mapping is standard.
  • Expected results: Reliable long-term access for dialysis when properly maintained.

Open Abdominal Aortic Repair (and EVAR)

What it is: Repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms either by open surgery (direct graft sutured into the aorta) or by endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) using an internal stent‑graft deployed via the femoral arteries.

  • Indications: Aneurysm size or growth meeting repair thresholds, symptomatic aneurysms.
  • Hospital stay & recovery: EVAR often 1–3 days with faster recovery; open repair usually 5–10 days inpatient and longer convalescence.
  • Who is a candidate: Choice depends on aneurysm anatomy, comorbidities and imaging assessment.
  • Expected results: Prevents rupture and reduces aneurysm-related mortality when performed appropriately.

Thrombectomy

What it is: Removal of an acute blood clot from an artery or vein using surgical or catheter-based techniques to restore blood flow and prevent complications such as pulmonary embolism or ischemic limb loss.

  • Indications: Acute limb ischemia, large venous thrombus with limb or organ threat.
  • Hospital stay & recovery: Variable—may require short inpatient stay and anticoagulation monitoring.
  • Who is a candidate: Patients with recent clot formation where removal can salvage tissue or reduce embolic risk.
  • Expected results: Rapid restoration of flow and reduced risk of permanent tissue loss when treated promptly.

Vascular Bypass Surgery

What it is: Creation of an alternate channel for blood flow using a graft (autologous vein or synthetic conduit) to bypass a blocked or damaged artery.

  • Indications: Long-segment peripheral occlusions not amenable to endovascular repair, or failed endovascular therapy.
  • Hospital stay & recovery: Typically several days inpatient with weeks of graded recovery and physiotherapy.
  • Who is a candidate: Patients with suitable conduit options and reasonable operative risk.
  • Expected results: Durable symptom relief and limb salvage in appropriate patients.

Open Carotid and Femoral Endarterectomy

What it is: Surgical removal of plaque from the inner lining of arteries (commonly carotid or femoral) to restore lumen diameter and reduce the risk of stroke or limb ischemia.

  • Indications: Moderate-to-severe focal arterial stenosis with symptoms or high-risk features.
  • Hospital stay & recovery: Typically 1–3 days inpatient for carotid endarterectomy; activity restrictions for several weeks.
  • Who is a candidate: Selected based on imaging, symptoms and surgical risk assessment.
  • Expected results: Reduces stroke risk when performed in appropriately selected patients.

Across Turkey’s accredited hospitals and medical centers, vascular surgeons and interventional teams use modern medical technology—hybrid operating rooms, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and the latest endovascular devices—to choose the least invasive option that achieves durable results. If you would like help comparing procedures, expected hospital stay and cost, contact us to arrange an expert review of your scans and a personalized recommendation.

Advanced Diagnosis and Treatment for Vascular Surgery in Turkey

Specialist vascular teams in Turkey combine modern diagnostics and minimally invasive treatments with open surgical options to offer personalized care. Diagnostic tools commonly used include Doppler ultrasound, CT angiography (CTA), MR angiography (MRA) and catheter angiography (angiogram); interventional teams frequently supplement imaging with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in complex cases.

Treatment options range from conservative management and medication to endovascular procedures (angioplasty, stenting, atherectomy), hybrid approaches performed in a hybrid operating room, and traditional open surgery (bypass, endarterectomy). Vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists work together to select the least invasive option that reliably achieves durable results.

Examples of advanced techniques available in accredited medical centers:

  • Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) with contemporary stent‑grafts
  • Transcarotid artery revascularization or carotid stenting as alternatives to open endarterectomy in selected patients
  • IVUS-guided interventions and complex peripheral recanalization
  • Hybrid procedures combining endovascular and open techniques in a single session
  • Robotic-assisted vascular procedures in select tertiary centers (availability varies by hospital)

Selecting an approach: your vascular care team will discuss risks, benefits and expected length of stay. For many patients, endovascular procedures offer shorter hospital stays (often same‑day to 48 hours) and quicker return to activity, while open surgery may be preferred for anatomies or disease patterns where durability is a priority. Decisions are guided by imaging, comorbidities and the team’s years of experience.

FAQ — When is minimally invasive preferred? When open surgery necessary?

  • Minimally invasive is preferred when lesion anatomy and patient risk profile permit, offering reduced recovery time and lower immediate complication rates.
  • Open surgery is chosen for extensive disease, unsuitable vascular anatomy for stenting, or when long‑term durability outweighs shorter recovery.

If you would like an evidence-based recommendation, DGS Healthcare can arrange a specialist review of your imaging and a second-opinion teleconsult with an experienced vascular doctor. Our medical staff will outline the recommended procedure, expected hospital stay, likely recovery timeline and an estimate of cost so you can make a confident decision about your treatment.
