He shared information about the protection of heart health and treatment methods

Medical Point Gaziantep Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Specialist Prof. Dr. M. Adnan Celkan shared important information about the protection of heart health and treatment methods.

Medical Point Gaziantep Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Specialist Prof. Dr. M. Adnan Celkan said, “Coronary by-pass surgery stands out as a common and effective treatment method for cardiovascular diseases. In order for the heart muscle to receive enough oxygen, it is of great importance that the coronary arteries maintain a healthy blood flow. However, narrowing or blockage of these vessels can significantly increase the risk of heart attack. Coronary by-pass is an effective surgical approach to solve this problem and restore heart health.”

“A detailed examination of the patient is performed before surgery”

Giving information about the surgery, Prof. Dr. Celkan said, “Coronary artery disease develops as a result of narrowing or blockage of the heart vessels due to fat layers (plaque) accumulated in them. This prevents the heart muscle from getting enough blood and oxygen and increases the risk of heart attack. Coronary bypass surgery is a surgical intervention to restore blood flow by creating a new pathway around blocked or narrowed arteries. A detailed examination of the patient is performed before the operation. Investigations such as blood tests, ECG and angiography provide important information about the patient's current condition. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so the patient does not feel any pain during the procedure. The surgeon opens the breastbone to access the heart. Healthy blood vessels (grafts), usually from the leg or chest area, are placed in place of the blocked vessels. These grafts allow the blood to reach the heart muscle by bypassing the blocked arteries.”

“Physical activity should be increased slowly according to the general condition of the patient”

Cardiovascular Surgery Specialist Prof. Dr. M. Adnan Celkan gave important information about Coronary By-Pass Surgery and said, “After the surgery, the sternum is closed and stitches are applied. Patients usually stay in the hospital for a few days, and the recovery process may take several weeks. Physical activity should be increased slowly according to the general condition of the patient. Also, paying attention to the doctor's recommendations and participating in the necessary rehabilitation programs are extremely important for a healthy recovery. Coronary bypass surgery is vital for heart health. Bypassing blocked arteries can improve patients' quality of life and significantly reduce the risk of heart attack. Regular health checks, healthy diet and exercise are the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart diseases. Integrating these measures into your life to protect your heart health is the key to living a healthy life.”
