Formazione accademica

Prof. Emin Tireli is a pediatric cardiovascular surgeon at Medical Park Bahcelievler Hospital. He has performed 6,329 congenital cardiac surgeries since 1993. The specialist used the Nikaidoh procedure for complex heart defects as an early adopter.

Specialization in Neonatal and Pediatric Heart Surgery

Dr. Tireli performs over 100 neonatal cardiac surgeries every year. He treats infants with extremely low birth weights, which helps improve neonatal survival rates. His work includes arterial switch operations and total pulmonary return anomalies. The specialist also treats cases of pulmonary banding and Norwood procedures.

He has completed 15 surgeries using advanced hybrid techniques — a method combining traditional surgery with minimally invasive catheter-based procedures. Dr. Tireli performs 30 reconstructions for aortic anomalies and PDA ligations in newborns. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation is a procedure to close a persistent opening between two major blood vessels leading from the heart.
