Deputy Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and DEM Party Istanbul Deputy Sırrı Süreyya Önder was hospitalized in Istanbul due to a heart condition.
In a statement regarding Önder's health condition from the DEM Party press office, it was stated, "Our Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Sırrı Süreyya Önder, has been hospitalized this evening due to a serious heart condition. Necessary interventions have been made by doctors. Önder, who is undergoing treatment in Istanbul, is being closely monitored regarding his health status. Necessary updates will continue to be provided."
ERDOĞAN CALLS BULDA It has been learned that President Erdoğan called Pervin Buldan twice since yesterday to both receive information and provide information regarding the surgery process. In a written statement from the DEM Party, it was expressed that Erdoğan told Buldan, "Whatever is necessary will be done."
DOCTORS MADE A STATEMENT ABOUT ÖNDER'S CURRENT CONDITION Prof. Dr. Çavlan Çiftçi, the chief physician of the hospital where Önder was operated on, stated regarding his health condition, "This is one of the most important surgeries we see in our heart surgery operations. It is a surgery with a very high risk of death. After an operation lasting nearly 12 hours, he has been taken to intensive care with the support of a mechanical support device, and his life is still in danger. At this moment, we are curious about his neurological status; he was unconscious when he arrived. This situation will last a few more days. The recovery of the right ventricle will be slower, so we will wait."
Prof. Dr. Ertan Sağbaş, the Cardiovascular Surgery Specialist who performed the surgery, stated, "It was a severe pathology. We noticed this, and we also performed a bypass. Since the heart was very fatigued, we rested it. This is why it took 12 hours. There is a diagnosis of an expansion in the aorta, which has been monitored. We learned that his treatment was being followed with medication. When we took him to surgery, his heart had stopped; we revived it with massage. We had a large team in the surgery. It was the most problematic aortic rupture I have seen in a long time. After this, it is not possible to talk about the long term. We are monitoring him by evaluating real-time data. Our patient is in a very critical position; we cannot talk about the long term."
