I am an experienced pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon with a demonstrated history of working in the hospital and healthcare industry of Istanbul, Turkey. My skills encompass pediatric heart surgery, minimally invasive heart surgery, full arterial revascularization in CABG (sclerotonized bilateral mammaria and radial artery usage), vascular surgery and endovascular procedures, medical education, and management of cardiac surgery patients in the intensive care unit.
