Transluminal Arterial Angioplasty (PTA) and Stenting in Medicalpoint International Hospital

5 patients

chose clinic for Cardiology Treatment

About the clinic

Transluminal arterial angioplasty and stenting at Medicalpoint International Hospital in Izmir, Turkey, helps restore blood flow to narrowed or blocked arteries. This procedure is led by Prof. Dr. Ertuğrul Ercan, a specialist with a European Diploma of Cardiology and membership in the European Society of Cardiology Interventional Cardiology Working Group. The hospital holds JCI and TEMOS accreditations, following high safety standards for international patients.

Advanced Angioplasty Techniques

The procedure uses a balloon catheter to widen blocked vessels without major surgery. A cardiologist inflates a small balloon at the site of the blockage to compress plaque against the artery walls. Prof. Dr. Ertuğrul Ercan may then place a stent to keep the vessel open. This method treats coronary, peripheral, carotid, and cerebral arteries. If a blockage is found during a diagnostic check, the treatment often happens in the same session.

Stent Options and Patient Safety

Doctors choose from various stent types based on the location and severity of the blockage. The hospital uses several materials and designs to match each patient's needs:

Self-expandable stents (SEMS) made from nitinol
Balloon-expandable stents typically made of stainless steel
Covered or uncovered stents depending on the vessel wall health
Temporary or permanent options for short-term or lifelong support

Specialized Care and Recovery

Medicalpoint International Hospital provides carbon dioxide angiography for patients with kidney disease. This option avoids contrast agents that could harm the kidneys. Most procedures use local anesthesia or mild sedation, allowing patients to stay awake but relaxed. Because the approach is minimally invasive, many people return to their normal activities within 24 to 72 hours. Shorter hospital stays help patients recover more quickly than traditional open surgery.

About the Medical Center

Medicalpoint is a university-affiliated hospital known for its research and academic background. The facility maintains a single-price policy for transparency and provides a team of 200+ translators. These specialists assist with logistics and hotel bookings to help international patients feel comfortable. The combination of ISO-certified care and the expertise of Prof. Dr. Ertuğrul Ercan makes it a major center for heart and vascular health in Turkey.

I am truly grateful for the exceptional care my mum received at this hospital. Words cannot express how much they have meant to us. Ms. Arzu went above and beyond, making all the necessary arrangements and being there for us day and night, even over the weekend. Dr. Humayun Kakar, the cardiologist, is truly outstanding. Life-saver, exceptional Dr. Unlike many hospitals, this one prioritizes patient care without the worry of being overcharged. Every nurse and staff member exemplifies top-notch professionalism and compassion. I am forever thankful for the support we received during such a challenging time. Everyone deserves this level of care in difficult moments. Thank you, Medical Point, from the bottom of my heart.

EDIT: IMPORTANT! The post below remains true when talking about the doctors and the VIP staff. HOWEVER! The hospital has changed their policy and is no longer accepting foreigners using SGK. This to me is absolutely insane and unfair. I work here and I pay an incredible amount of tax to the government. There is no reason that I should be denied care and medicine! I am very upset and I am hoping that enough people file complaints so that the hospital changes their decision. I have been coming here, as a foreign resident, for a couple of years now and I truly appreciate everyone I have dealt with. The VIP translation team has saved me with all of their amazing help the entire time! Seda, Ahmed, Buse, and Liz have always been so kind and incredibly helpful every second. Dr. Can recently did a wonderful surgery for me and Dr. Semih has been great in dermatology. I am extremely satisfied and thankful for all of their work.

I was there with my 4.5-year-old child. My child had a neck injury, and we went to the emergency department with great concern. First of all, I would like to thank you for the help we received. Nevertheless, I would like to share some concerns. The communication was very poor – not because of the language (I am a German citizen and native Turkish speaker), but because of the content. After the X-ray, the emergency doctor told us that surgery might be necessary because he believed he saw a slipped disc pressing on the spinal cord. After the MRI and CT scans, however, it became clear that this was not the case. When I asked why such a serious scenario had been mentioned, the answer was that the child was simply holding his head tilted during the X-ray. Of course, that was exactly the reason we came to the hospital in the first place. He should have considered this in his analysis. Because of the doctor’s words, we went through one hour of unnecessary fear and stress. Another issue was the MRI examination. Understandably, it is very difficult for a 5-year-old child to remain completely still in an MRI machine for 20 minutes, and therefore no usable results could be obtained. A CT scan was then performed instead, but we were still charged for both procedures. From my point of view, I do not find this entirely fair. I refused to pay for the MRI. I believe that doctors and staff should have enough experience to recognize such situations and act accordingly. Please do not misunderstand me: I am grateful for the medical support my child received, although it was very costly !!!. At the same time, I cannot say that I was fully satisfied with the way the situation was managed.

Had a positive experience with general checkup with ASG insurance, but I needed to see a dermatologist to have two spots checked. He spent literally 3 minutes with me, no procedure was done, all he said was that the spots were benign and there was nothing to be concerned about - for which I was charged 5800 TL - outrageous! I was appalled that I should have to pay so much to be told there's nothing wrong. If you're looking for dermatology advice - don't come here as it's a total ripoff, you'll pay less to see a top consultant dermatologist in the UK including flying there and back!
