About the clinic
Tetralogy of Fallot surgery at Liv Hospital Ulus in Istanbul, Turkey may cost around $22,200 for the initial shunt procedure. The JCI-accredited hospital specializes in pediatric cardiac surgery with a two-stage surgical approach to increase success rates. Dr. Ahmet Özkara leads the cardiac surgery team with specialized expertise in congenital heart defects.
Surgical Approach
The treatment involves two stages for better outcomes. Stage one includes either a Blalock-Taussig shunt or Pulmonary Banding procedure. Patients stay 7-10 days in hospital with 2-4 nights in ICU. The second stage comes 1-2 years later as full corrective surgery.
Package Includes
- Shunt operation (subclavian-pulmonary artery)
- ICU and regular ward stays
- Echocardiography and pulmonary angiography
- Airport transfer and interpreter services
Medical Team
Dr. Özkara works with Dr. Meki Bilici for evaluation. All patients receive detailed assessment before treatment begins. The 30,000 m² facility handles 50,000 international patients annually.
Important Considerations
This is high-risk surgery with life-threatening potential. Delays may increase surgical risks. The $20,000 Pulmonary Banding option includes 10-day hospital stay. Contact the hospital for specific case evaluation.
