Accepting international patientsAbout Assoc. Prof. Mehmet Barburoğlu, MD
Assoc. Prof. Mehmet Barburoğlu, MD is a specialist in Interventional Neuroradiology at Acibadem Atakent Hospital in İstanbul, where he works within the Neurosurgery unit. His subspecialties are Interventional Radiology and Interventional Neuroradiology, and his clinical practice centers on image-guided, minimally invasive procedures and on radiological evaluation. He has more than 17 years in medicine.
Dr. Barburoğlu graduated from İstanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine in 2009 and completed his specialty training in Radiology at İstanbul University İstanbul Faculty of Medicine in 2015. He has been working with Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2025. He has been a member of the Turkish Society of Interventional Radiology and the Turkish Radiological Society since 2011, and a member of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe since 2015.
Clinical focus
Dr. Barburoğlu’s work covers interventional neuroradiology and interventional radiology. These are minimally invasive, image-guided procedures in which catheters and other instruments are guided under imaging rather than through open surgery. Radiological evaluation is part of his practice: existing scans are reviewed and, where needed, further imaging is obtained before any treatment decision is made. Whether an interventional approach is appropriate depends on the individual patient’s clinical findings and imaging, and this is assessed case by case.
He has co-authored peer-reviewed publications in the field of interventional neuroradiology. These include studies on the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms, among them wide-necked, complex, bifurcation and posterior circulation aneurysms treated with stent-assisted coiling, stent plus balloon-assisted coiling and flow diversion; a report on the stentectomy procedure as rescue treatment for acute thrombosis of self-expandable intracranial stents; and papers on posterior reversible encephalopathy in sepsis-associated encephalopathy, intracranial granuloma in granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and structural brain changes in COVID-19-related hyposmia and long COVID. He has also contributed to a cadaveric study on the use of an expandable stent in endoscopic third ventriculostomy.
How Dr. Barburoğlu works with international patients
Dr. Barburoğlu consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior medical reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organises the hospital stay. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and any previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the possible options, including whether an image-guided procedure is suitable in the specific situation. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their case before travelling or to follow up after treatment. Recommendations are based on the clinical findings and imaging evaluation of each patient.
