Cardiovascular Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. As a result of the examinations performed by Ahmet Ünlü, he was diagnosed with aortic rupture (aortic vessel rupture) and was taken into emergency surgery. With a long and successful surgery, the ruptured aortic artery was replaced with an artificial vessel. The patient, whose intensive care and ward follow-ups were uneventful, was discharged in good health at the end of the 12th day after the surgery.
“Aortic aneurysm means that the diameter of the vessel becomes larger than normal and the vessel wall weakens,” said Cardiovascular Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Ahmet Ünlü: “After a while, the weakened vein ruptures and internal bleeding develops. In some patients, a much more complicated condition called aortic steering may develop, which affects all organs by bleeding between the layers of the wall, almost throughout the entire vessel, without being extravasated. Again, this situation, which has an extremely high risk of death due to internal bleeding, requires urgent surgical intervention. For this reason, it is very important that patients diagnosed with aortic aneurysm and who are not yet at the threshold of surgical intervention do not skip their check-ups. “It should be kept in mind that especially those with a family history of aortic aneurysm or dissection should be examined by a Cardiovascular Surgery specialist,” he said.
Mehmet Ertürk, whose aortic artery was ruptured, stated that he came out alive from the hospital where he was dead and said, “My heart was heavy, I went to the hospital immediately. When I went to the hospital, I was already dead. I don’t remember much, but I remember that I was going to have an angiogram. I’ve already had angiography, they did other tests. Dr. Ahmet Ünlü decided to have surgery. My surgery took too long. Thanks to you, I went dead and came out of the hospital alive. I had a rupture in my aorta. He was in a very dangerous place. Thanks to our doctor’s experience, I had a successful surgery. The process went well after the surgery. I am very well now, I have no pain. I started going out and walking. “I would like to thank my doctor Ahmet Ünlü and his team,” he said.
