Aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body, carrying blood from the heart to the entire body. Aortic aneurysm is the dilation or bulging of a portion of the aorta. This enlargement can cause the aorta to rupture or tear, posing a life-threatening risk. Aortic aneurysms often show no symptoms and can grow unnoticed for years. Op. Dr. Murat Ertürk is an experienced surgeon in treating aortic aneurysms and offers personalized treatment plans for each patient.

There are two main treatment methods for aortic aneurysms: open surgical repair and minimally invasive endovascular stent grafting. In open surgery, the aneurysmal section is surgically removed and replaced with a prosthetic graft. This method is usually preferred for large aneurysms or severe cases. However, endovascular stent grafting has become more popular in recent years as a less invasive alternative. In this procedure, a stent is inserted through the blood vessels into the aorta to reinforce the aneurysm and restore normal blood flow.

Minimally invasive endovascular stent grafting generally accelerates recovery and reduces complication risks. This approach allows patients to return to their normal lives more quickly. Op. Dr. Murat Ertürk successfully performs both methods, ensuring patients recover healthily.

Aortic surgeries can be performed using both open and minimally invasive techniques. Dr. Ertürk creates individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient, helping them complete recovery with minimal complications and in the shortest possible time.
