Specialization and Surgical Methods

Dr. Mavioğlu leads the Cardiovascular Surgery Outpatient Clinic. He performs minimally invasive off-pump anaortic CABG (MACAB) and MIDCAB. These techniques allow for coronary artery bypass without stopping the heart. He also focuses on awake carotid artery surgery.

This method allows the specialist to monitor brain function in real time. The doctor treats various conditions, including coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis. He also treats atrial fibrillation and cardiac arrhythmias. Furthermore, he treats hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, chronic heart failure, and Raynaud’s disease.

Dr. Mavioğlu conducts peripheral vascular and endovascular interventions. He uses methods such as TEVAR, EVAR, BEVAR, FEVAR, PEVAR, and CERAB. These procedures treat aortic aneurysms and complex vascular complications. He also performs chimney TEVAR techniques to address specific aortic pathologies.

The doctor treats the following conditions:

• Coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis
• Atrial fibrillation and cardiac arrhythmias
• Hypertension and pulmonary hypertension
• Chronic heart failure and Raynaud’s disease
