About the clinic

Atrial septal defect (ASD) repair surgery at Liv Hospital Ulus in Istanbul, Turkey may cost around $18,000 USD. The procedure is performed by Prof. Dr. Ahmet Özkara, a cardiovascular surgeon with 35 years of experience specializing in congenital heart surgery. The hospital is JCI-accredited and offers minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery.

Procedure Details

The surgery repairs holes in the heart's atrial septum using a synthetic patch. Prof. Dr. Özkara uses a mini-thoracotomy approach with a small incision under the breast. This avoids sternotomy and reduces scarring.

Treatment Package

The standard package includes:

  • Surgical procedure with patch closure
  • 5-7 night hospital stay (1 night ICU)
  • Pre-operative tests and consultation
  • Anesthesia services
  • First follow-up consultation
  • Companion stay included

Recovery Process

Patients typically stay in Turkey for 10 days. The hospital stay lasts 5-7 days with ICU monitoring. Follow-up occurs within one week after discharge. The mini-thoracotomy approach allows quicker recovery than traditional methods.

Why Choose This Clinic

Liv Hospital Ulus is part of an international hospital group with a cardiology center of excellence. Prof. Dr. Özkara has specialized in cardiovascular surgery since 1985. The transparent pricing covers most services with airport transfers and interpreters included.

I would highly recommend bookimed to anyone needing a complex medical procedure

Our son was recommended to undergo a complex surgical procedure, which was not only risky but also extremely complicated. I couldn't be more satisfied with bookimed. From start to finish their representative Olha was professional, responsive and genuinely invested in helping me find the best possible care. Olha took the time to understand my medical needs and concerns and provide personalized recomendatios for hospitals and surgeons of different regions. The information they provided was thorough and accurate. The entire process was smooth and stressfree. All travel matters and documents were swiftly provided for travel procedures. i appreciate the extra effort to ensure I was comfortable every step of the way. They kept a check on my son even after the procedure regarding his well being. I would highly recommend bookimed to anyone needing a complex medical procedure .They have fully earned my trust and i feel grateful for their support during my challenging time.
