About the clinic

Intracranial arterial angioplasty and stenting treats narrowed brain arteries using a catheter, balloon, and stent. Medipol Mega University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, has a dedicated Interventional Neuroradiology Department and biplane angiography systems for vessel imaging.

Catheter-based treatment and imaging

The team guides a catheter through blood vessels to the narrowed artery. A small balloon widens the artery, and a stent helps keep it open. This approach avoids classic open surgery.

Biplane angiography and Artis zee systems provide images of blood vessels during the procedure. These images help guide the catheter and stent placement.

The procedure is used for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis, a narrowing caused by plaque inside brain arteries. The department also treats cerebral aneurysms, brain arteriovenous malformations, dural fistulas, carotid-cavernous fistulas, and acute stroke.

Neurovascular specialists

Interventional radiologist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gürkan Danışan performs endovascular treatment for brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and carotid stenosis. He has also published research on endovascular recanalization techniques.

Neurosurgeon Prof. Dr. Cem Dinç specializes in cerebrovascular and skull base surgery. He completed a research fellowship in skull base and vascular surgery at the University of Wisconsin in 2016–2017. His work includes 50+ scientific publications.

Medipol Mega University Hospital is JCI-accredited and part of Medipol Health Group. Its facilities include 35 operating rooms, 215 intensive care beds, and 810 inpatient beds.
