About the clinic
Pediatric mitral valve replacement at Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital in Istanbul provides a minimally invasive solution for children with congenital heart disorders. This procedure uses interventional cardiology methods to avoid traditional open-heart surgery. The hospital is part of the Memorial Healthcare Group and holds JCI accreditation and LEED Platinum certification.
Minimally Invasive Catheter Procedure
The medical team performs the valve replacement through interventional catheterization. This method involves using a thin tube to reach the heart rather than making large chest incisions. Because the approach is minimally invasive, the child does not require general anesthesia. This reduces the physical stress on a young patient's body during the procedure.
The catheter-based technique offers several recovery benefits:
- No surgical scars remain because there are no large cuts.
- Hospital stay lasts only 1-2 days in most cases.
- Recovery time is significantly faster than traditional surgery.
- Congenital heart disease care is available for various complex valve disorders.
Advanced Hospital Environment
Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital is the first full-service hospital in the world to receive LEED Platinum certification. This recognizes its focus on environmental standards and patient comfort. As a JCI-accredited facility, it meets strict international requirements for safety and quality of care. The hospital belongs to Turkey's largest healthcare network, which has deep experience in pediatric cardiovascular surgery.

Advantages of Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital
- The high level of equipment. The hospital has one of the most technologically advanced infrastructures in the world. The complete examination of the body is made on Magnetom Skyra 3T MRI for several minutes. Its specific structure allows diagnosing patients with overweight and claustrophobia. The noise level is reduced by 97% compared to the previous apparatuses, so even children feel comfortable during the examination. The clinic has Elekta Versa HD SIGNATURE — an innovative radiotherapy system. It accurately determines the location, shape, size of the tumor, the required dose of radiation, and adapts to the patient's breathing. These features make the procedure efficient and safe — only malignant cells are exposed to radiation, and the surrounding healthy tissues are protected. Elekta Versa HD SIGNATURE provides high-dose irradiation as well. Thus, the duration of the procedure is reduced by 3 times, compared to radiosurgical interventions on devices of the older generation.
- “Green hospital” conception. Memorial Bahçelievler rooms are designed in that way to positively affect the patient's psychological condition. Only living hypoallergenic plants are used in the design.
- Coordination of international patients. Each patient has a personal coordinator who will inform about all diagnostics and treatment steps, arrange transfer and medical interpreter services.
