Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Yurtman’s practice is devoted to vascular conditions. He assesses and treats peripheral vascular occlusions, in which narrowing or blockage of arteries outside the heart reduces blood flow to the limbs or other organs. He also treats varicose veins and provides wound care, which is often relevant for patients whose wounds heal slowly because of underlying circulatory problems. His vascular work further includes the evaluation and management of vasculitis, a group of conditions in which inflammation affects the walls of the blood vessels. Treatment decisions in these areas depend on the individual findings and may involve conservative measures, surgical intervention, or a combination of approaches.

In cardiac surgery, Dr. Yurtman’s areas of expertise include heart valve diseases, among them aortic valve stenosis, in which the aortic valve narrows and restricts blood flow from the heart. He also has clinical experience with heart muscle diseases. As with vascular conditions, the choice of treatment is made after a review of the patient’s history, imaging, and overall health, and not every patient will be a candidate for surgery.

How Dr. Yurtman works with international patients

Dr. Yurtman 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 reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the possible options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their case with Dr. Yurtman remotely, for example before deciding whether to travel for an in-person assessment.
