An announcement was made by the hospital regarding the health status of DEM Party Istanbul Deputy Sırrı Süreyya Önder, who is being treated in the intensive care unit. In the statement, it was expressed that the right side of his non-functioning heart has started to contract.
Here is the statement made by the hospital:
Our patient Mr. Sırrı Süreyya Önder is still in a life-threatening condition on the 6th day in our hospital's Intensive Care Unit; he is at very high risk and the intensive care treatment process is ongoing.
On Saturday, Mr. Önder underwent a planned revision by our Cardiac Surgeons, and his chest was reopened. It was observed that the surgical area was clean, there was no infection in the tissues, and there was no bleeding from any surgical area. Most importantly, we saw that the right heart has started to contract. The right heart, which hardly contracted during the first surgery, has begun to show significant contraction, although not completely. The arterial pulse trace has now started to be seen on our patient monitor. The hemodynamics of our patient are stable, and he is still
under ECMO (heart support device) support and inotropic support treatment. However, after a small amount of bleeding from his drainage sites yesterday, he was taken for revision again, and an evaluation was made. Again, the surgical areas were clean, but a small amount of bleeding was observed from the hole of the sternum wires. It was controlled and closed with stitches.
However, our patient has been unconscious since the moment he arrived, and his reflexes are not at the desired level. There is currently brain blood flow present in the transcranial Doppler. Our neurological evaluations and studies related to the issue are ongoing. Therefore, as we expressed in our press release at the time of the first surgery, we still have serious concerns from a neurological perspective, and the high risks continue. We will continue to wait patiently.
HIS BROTHER HAD MADE A STATEMENT
Ali Önder, the brother of TBMM Deputy Speaker and DEM Party Istanbul Deputy Sırrı Süreyya Önder, had made a statement regarding his brother's health status. Speaking to the press in front of the hospital in Şişli where Önder is being treated, Ali Önder stated that his brother's condition is stable, which makes them happy at this stage.
Ali Önder said, "The fact that the condition is currently stable is said to be a positive process for the patient. Because the body and organs need to rest. We are hopeful, we are waiting."
In response to the question of whether Önder is responsive, Ali Önder said, "We know that it is not a criterion. My nephew did show that response during the first visit, but there are stages and phases to this. Because there is a sedation process."
Stating that he has not yet seen his brother, Önder said, "I am making a great effort not to enter the visit. A miracle is being performed here; our professors are literally digging a well with a needle. I do not want to leave anything on a patient who is being brought back with such effort. No matter how sterile you enter, we are in a hospital environment. I am content with the news given by my professors. It is okay if I do not go inside. I just want him to recover as soon as possible, return to us, and see him together."
In response to questions about claims that the heart was not closed after the surgery, Önder shared, "The chest was not closed for precautionary reasons after the operation, but today they decided to close it."
