Mehmet Ali Yeşiltaş, Vascular surgeon

Specialization: Vascular surgeon
Workplace: Turkey, Istanbul, Bahçeşehir Üniversite Hastanesi Medical Park Göztepe
- Specialist at the clinic: Doç. Dr. Mehmet Ali Yeşiltaş is presented as a “Cardio-Vascular Surgeon” and shares patient guidance via his Instagram (@dr.mayesiltas).
- Clinical decision-making for varicose veins is guided by Doppler ultrasound findings—he explains that the best option depends on the patient’s vein anatomy and disease features (laser vs surgery).
- For aortic dissection, he outlines a workup that includes CT angiography and, when needed, MR angiography and echocardiography to define location, spread, and type before choosing between open surgery or endovascular stent-graft treatment.
- His educational content covers practical risk prevention for vascular emergencies, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) concerns during travel and aspirin use based on individual bleeding and cardiovascular risk.
As a specialist at the clinic, Doç. Dr. Mehmet Ali Yeşiltaş focuses on cardio-vascular and vascular surgery using minimally invasive, endovascular approaches. He is especially known for patient-specific planning—whether choosing varicose vein laser vs surgery based on Doppler ultrasound, or selecting open vs endovascular treatment for aortic dissection after CT/MR angiography and echocardiography. For international patients, he provides clear, practical guidance on conditions like DVT risk and aortic aneurysm decision-making.

Qualifications

With aortic dissection, the timing of imaging and the choice between open surgery and endovascular stent-graft treatment can be decisive. At the clinic, Doç. Dr. Mehmet Ali Yeşiltaş works as a cardio-vascular surgeon focused on heart and vascular conditions, combining surgical care with endovascular options. His patient-facing materials emphasize that the “right” treatment is not one-size-fits-all—varicose vein laser and surgery are selected according to vein anatomy and Doppler ultrasound findings. For vascular problems, he also highlights structured diagnostic pathways such as Doppler ultrasound/duplex angioscanning, echocardiography, and angiography-based evaluation when needed.
