Minimal İnvaziv Damar Cerrahisi Tekniği başarılı sonuçlar veriyor. Kalp, bacak ve boyun damarlarının tıkanıklığında kullanılan yöntem zamanında müdahale ile kalp krizi, felç ve kangreni önlüyor. Standart cerrahinin riskli olduğu hastalarda ise hayat kurtarıyor.

Yaşlı Varis Hastalarına Buhar Tedavisi Uygulanabiliyor…

Ayaklarda ve bacaklarda şişme ve şiddetli ağrılar, kötü kokulu akıntılı yaralar… Bunlar ilerlemiş varis hastalığını işaret ediyor. Özellikle ileri yaşta daha çok rastlanan bu gibi durumlarda tedaviler de zorlaşıyor. Ancak bir süredir Türkiye’de uygulanan Buhar Tedavisi yönteminden ileri yaş…

Şah Damarı Tümörlerinin Tedavisinde Lokal Anestezi İle Cerrahi Dönemi Başladı

Şah damarı tümörleri ölümcül sonuçlar vermiyor ancak ses tellerini etkiliyor, nefes darlığına neden oluyor ya da ender durumda kısmi felce sebep oluyor. Tek tedavisi ameliyat olan bu tümörler artık lokal anestezi ile de alınmaya başlandı.

Kalp Krizine Erken Tanı

Kalp krizine erken tanı sağlayan yöntemlerden Kardiyogonyometri ( CGM ) ile kalbi 3 boyutlu gören cihaz, hastayı yormadan ve radyasyona maruz bırakmadan birkaç dakikada sonuç veriyor.

Çocuğun İki Bacağı Arasındaki Fark “Varis” Olabilir

Genç yaşlardan itibaren görülen varisler çocukları da etkiliyor. Doğuştan derin toplardamarların olmaması durumu ile gelişen çocuklarda varis sorununa ise standart varis tedavilerinin asla uygulanmaması gerekir.

Aort Anevrizmasına Dair Her Şey…

Belirti vermeden sinsi bir şekilde ilerleyen Aort Anevrizması hayati sonuçlar doğurabiliyor. Erken tanıda ise rahatlıkla kontrol altına alınabiliyor. Bunun için özellikle yüksek tansiyonu olan kişilerin yılda bir kere tüm batın ultrasonu ya da tomografi yaptırması yeterli. Aort Anevrizması tanısı konulan bağ…

Damarlardaki Risk Haritasını Ortaya Çıkarıyor…

ABI ( AncleBrakial İndeks ) testi damar sorunu yaşayan hastalara tedavinin seyri ile ilgili yön verirken potansiyel damar hastalığı riskini de ortaya çıkartıyor. Bir kaç dakikada tamamlanan işlem radyasyona maruz kalınmadan gerçekleşiyor ve net sonuçlar veriyor.

Budama ( Buerger ) Hastalığı sigaranın neden olduğu rahatsızlıklardan sadece bir tanesi. Genç erkeklerde görülen bu hastalık kılcal damarları tıkar. Sigaraya son verilmezse parmaklar, eller ve ayaklarda kangrene dönüşür.

Adımlarınız günden güne kısalıyor, kalçada şiddetli ağrılar yaşanıyor ve erkeklerde ani gelen iktidarsızlık kendini gösteriyorsa… Dikkat… Nadirgörülen Leriche Sendromu ile karşı karşıya olabilirsiniz.

Şiddetli Bacak Ağrıları İle Beraber Günden Güne Yürüme Mesafeniz Kısalıyorsa…

Günden güne yürüme mesafeniz kısalıyorsa, sebepsiz topallamaya başlamışsanız, istirahat ederken ya da yatarken bile dayanılmaz bacak ağrıları çekiyorsanız dikkat. Bu belirtiler sizi kangrene doğru götürüyor olabilir.

Şah Damarı Felçlerine Yönelik İnme Cerrahisi…

Beyne kan taşıyan atar damarların tıkanması ile kendini gösteren şah damarı hastalığı çoğu zaman hiç de arzu etmediğimiz sonuçlar veriyor. Bunlardan en önemlisi de hayatımızı kabusa çeviren felç. Hasta yatağa mahkum olduğunda aileler çaresiz kalıyor ve en önemlisi de “Yapacak bir şey…

Sohbetli Şah Damarı Ameliyatı

Günümüzün en büyük sorunlarından biri damar rahatsızlıkları… Görülme oranları 40’lı yaşlara kadar inen bu sorunlar ciddiye alınmazsa felç ve kalp krizi gibi ölümcül sonuçlar doğurabiliyor.

Diyabet Ve Diyabet Ayak Hakkında Her Şey…

Şeker hastalarının ayaklarında oluşan küçük yaralar ve nasırlar dikkat edilmezse damar iltihaplarına neden oluyor. Diyabetik Ayak denilen bu iltihaplar kısa sürede kangrene dönüşüyor ve bacak kesilebiliyor. Oysa her ayak kesilmemeli. Erken tanı ve zamanında doğru müdahale ile bacaklar kurtarılabilir.

Şeker Hastalığı ve Diyabetik Ayak…

Ömür boyu kişiyi pençesine alan şeker hastalığı korkutucu boyutlara ulaştı. Son araştırmalarda ise Türkiye’nin şeker hastalığında en hızlı yayılan ülke olduğu yayınlandı. Son veriler Türkiye’de kayıtlı 7 milyondan fazla şeker hastası olduğunu belirtiyor. Bu hastaların hayatları boyunca en az 1…

Varis Deyip Geçmeyin…

Avrupa’da başarılı sonuçlar veren “Buharla Varis Tedavisi” Türkiye’de de uygulanmaya başlandı. Damarın içine steril sıcak subuharı püskürtülerek uygulanan yöntem klasik tekniklerin yan etkilerinden de koruyor. Herkese…

Başlıca Damar Hastalıkları

Damar sertliği (atherosclerosis): Kolestrol ve benzeri yağ içeren maddelerin atardamarın iç yüzeyinde birikerek damar duvarının sertleşmesine yol açtığı damar hastalığı.

Sağlıklı bir yaşam ve kalp sağlığımız

İnsan tüm yaşamı boyunca dinamik bir süreç içindedir.Bu dinamizim gerek vücudun kendi işleyişi içinde gerekse de çevre ile etkileşiminin bir sonucudur. Dolayısıyla aktif bir yaşam ve bunun sağlayıcısı olan vücudumuz yük taşıyan bir araç gibidir. Bütün vücudun dolaşımını…

Neden minimal invaziv damar cerrahisi?

Damar cerrahisi ve aort cerrahisi ülkemizde ihmal edilmiş kalp cerrahisinin gölgesinde kalmış ve ilerleme göstermemiştir. Ben 10 yılımı sadece aort ve damar cerrahisine adadım. Daha önce çalıştığım kamu hastanesinde kendime ait yoğun bakımımın olmaması, asistanımın yetersiz olması ve teknik alt yapı yetersizliği beni…
