The Cardiovascular Surgery Department at Mogadishu Somali Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan Research and Training Hospital provides advanced surgical care for patients with a wide range of heart and vascular diseases. Our team of highly skilled surgeons utilises the latest techniques to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
We perform vascular surgeries to restore circulation, prevent life-threatening complications, and enhance the quality of life. These include:
- Bypass Surgeries: Restoring blood flow in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia through surgical revascularization.
- Aneurysm Repairs: Treating life-threatening conditions such as abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and other vascular aneurysms with open techniques.
- Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula and Graft Placement for Hemodialysis: Creating durable vascular access for patients requiring long-term dialysis treatment.
- Repair of Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs): Correcting abnormal vascular connections to prevent complications like bleeding and organ dysfunction.
- Varicose Vein Surgeries: Treating chronic venous insufficiency through saphenous vein Sclerotherapy, stripping, and phlebectomy.
- Carotid Endarterectomy: Removing plaque from the carotid arteries to prevent strokes and improve cerebral blood flow.
- Management of Traumatic Vascular Injuries: Performing emergency vascular repairs to control bleeding, restore circulation, and prevent limb loss.
- Placement of Hemodialysis Access: Inserting tunneled catheters and permanent dialysis access for patients requiring renal replacement therapy.
Additionally, our department offers closed heart surgeries to treat specific cardiac conditions without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass, including:
- Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Closure: Surgically closing the ductus arteriosus in patients with persistent PDA to prevent heart failure and other complications.
- Pericardiectomy for Constrictive Pericarditis: Removing the thickened pericardium to restore normal heart function in patients suffering from chronic pericardial constriction.
- Management of Traumatic Cardiac Injuries: Performing emergency cardiac repairs for penetrating and blunt heart trauma to prevent life-threatening complications.
Our team collaborates with a multidisciplinary group of specialists, including radiologists, nephrologists, and neurologists, to provide individualized patient care. Whether through elective procedures or emergency interventions, our department remains committed to delivering the highest level of cardiovascular surgical care with precision and excellence.
