Qualifications
Dr. Kadriye Kilickesmez is a cardiologist at Liv Hospital Ulus with experience in interventional cardiology. She served as the founding chief at two major hospitals in Turkey. Her career includes specialized clinical training at Royal Brompton Hospital in London.
Specialization and Cardiac Procedures
Dr. Kilickesmez treats heart conditions using minimally invasive techniques. She performs transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and mitral valve interventions. The doctor also performs radial angiography and complex coronary treatments.
Dr. Kilickesmez treats various cardiovascular conditions:
- Coronary artery disease
- Arrhythmia
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Pulmonary embolism
- Calcific cardiac lesions
- Chronic total occlusions — complete blockages of a coronary artery that have been present for at least three months
- Structural heart defects including ASD, PFO, and VSD
The doctor uses intracoronary examinations to guide treatment. These tools include fractional flow reserve (FFR), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and optical coherence tomography (OCT). These methods allow her to see inside the blood vessels and measure pressure accurately. She also performs LAA closure to prevent strokes and paravalvular leak closures.
Additionally, she provides treatments for calcific lesions using Rotablator and shockwave balloons. These technologies help break up calcium deposits in the arteries. Dr. Kilickesmez also performs carotid arterial interventions and septal ablation for heart muscle thickening.
