About

Dr. Alper Ozkan is a competent medical practitioner in cardiology at Acibadem Altunizade Hospital has rich experience in this field. He is an expert in Invasive Cardiology and Cardiovascular Imaging. Invasive cardiology uses open or minimally invasive surgery to identify or treat structural or electrical abnormalities within the heart structure. Common types of invasive cardiology: Angioplasty: When plaque clogs your arteries, it becomes difficult for blood to flow normally. Angioplasty inserts a tiny balloon into your clogged vein and pushes the plaque against the walls, allowing for increased blood flow. Stenting: Stenting is usually done in conjunction with angioplasty. A cardiac stent is a small metal coil that permanently holds a clogged vein open. Dr. Alper Ozkan evaluates each patient, deciding their course of treatment depending on the prognosis of their disease. He is the best in the field, and his work speaks for itself.
