Cardiovascular Surgery Specialist
Op. Dr. Kadir Çeviker
I touch your heart and veins with the most up-to-date scientific knowledge and the most modern approaches.
I am Op. Dr. Kadir Çeviker. After graduating from Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, I completed my specialization in Cardiovascular Surgery at Istanbul University Cardiology Institute. During my academic career, I received various trainings in molecular biology and genetics and specialized in cellular therapies, regenerative medicine and micronucleic acids.
In my clinical practice, I adopt multidisciplinary and personalized methods in the treatment of vascular diseases. I bring personalized multifaceted treatments as a whole in venous insufficiency, namely varicose veins, and I closely deal with difficult cases such as chronic wounds, exosome-based cellular regeneration applications, and diabetic foot treatments; I offer my patients advanced treatments that accelerate wound healing and rejuvenate tissues.
The angiographic interventional procedures (peripheral angio), which I apply especially to patients with peripheral arterial occlusions, aim to prevent amputation by restoring circulation in the feet and legs.
In addition, with minimally invasive (small incision) heart surgery, which represents a contemporary approach to heart surgery, I aim for my patients to recover faster and have less pain after surgery.
I have taken part in many scientific projects both domestically and abroad; I have dozens of articles published in international journals. I use my academic knowledge every day in the field to improve the quality of life of my patients.
My interest in art is also included in this process: I try to reflect my deep respect for the human body in my photography and sculpture works as well as my surgical meticulousness.
I offer my patients an artistic approach shaped by science for healthy veins, fast-healing wounds and strong hearts.
