STATEMENT FROM MINISTER MEMİŞOĞLU
Health Minister Kemal Memişoğlu, who visited the hospital where Önder is being treated, made a statement to the press. Memişoğlu stated that there has been no change in Önder's condition, saying, "We conveyed our wishes for a speedy recovery to his family. All our prayers are with him. So far, he has shown great resilience. He is fighting in intensive care, connected to machines for a long time. We all expect him to recover and join us. There is no change in his condition. This is a very major surgery. I thank those who performed it," he expressed.
STATEMENT FROM THE HOSPITAL: HE IS RESPONDING WELL TO OUR TREATMENTS
Meanwhile, a written statement from the Florance Nightingale Hospital during the day indicated that Önder is responding well to treatment. The statement said, "Mr. Sırrı Süreyya Önder is generally responding well to our treatments. His systemic and metabolic parameters are improving. The acidosis has resolved, and urine output is normal. We will perform hemofiltration today just to protect his kidneys. He has spontaneous respiration. He has a response to painful stimuli. Blood pressure and circulation are more normal compared to yesterday. The circulation in the legs is good peripherally. Under ECMO, Noradrenaline, and Dobutamine, the average is 110/66 mmHg. The contraction of the left ventricle is very good; the contraction of the right ventricle is still not good, it is contracting very little. An EEG has been placed and will stay for 24 hours. The process is long; we will wait. The intensive care process continues," it was stated.
HE RESPONDED TO HIS DAUGHTER
DEM Party Co-Chair Tuncer Bakırhan also received information from Prof. Dr. Ertan Sağbaş, who performed Önder's surgery. Sağbaş stated, "There is improvement in one of the parameters related to circulation, and the bleeding seems to have stopped. There is a situation where he is trying to breathe on his own. He responded when his daughter entered the room. These are good signs, but the issue of not pumping on the right side of his heart continues. The machine that takes over the body functions is performing the duties of the heart and lungs," he said.
HE WILL BE SEDATED FOR 5 DAYS
Yesterday, former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who visited the hospital where Önder is being treated, stated, "They have extended the sedation period to 5 days, as expressed. It is our common wish for him to recover as soon as possible." Kılıçdaroğlu noted that Önder's values are being continuously monitored and that the hospital is making every effort. "The doctors expressed that the proximity of his home to here is a significant advantage, allowing him to arrive quickly, and that having two qualified professors related to this matter in the hospital is a great advantage," he said.
LAST FOOTAGE EMERGED
It has been revealed that Sırrı Süreyya Önder went to a restaurant in Beyoğlu alone before suffering a heart attack. It was seen that Önder left the restaurant after having a meal there. Security camera footage captured moments of Önder entering the restaurant and eating.
HE COLLAPSED AFTER RETURNING HOME
Önder was seen to be cheerful but tired when he entered the restaurant. It was learned that he spent about half an hour in the restaurant, chatting with the staff and taking photos. Shortly after returning home, it was reported that he collapsed.
THE SURGERY LASTED 12 HOURS
Önder's brother Ali Fuat Önder stated that Sırrı Süreyya Önder's heart stopped twice while he was in the ambulance and during the surgery, and he was intervened. After the first intervention, a tear was detected in the aorta, and Önder was urgently taken for surgery. The surgery, which started at 23:35 the previous night, lasted approximately 12 hours.
HE WAS TAKEN TO INTENSIVE CARE
Önder was taken to intensive care after the surgery. In the first statement from the hospital, it was stated that Önder was connected to a heart circulation support device.

"Subsequently, at 23:05, there was a rhythm disturbance again, and pulse and circulation stopped," the statement said, adding, "CPR was performed, and our patient was urgently taken to the operating room, and the operation started at 23:35."
BY-PASS WAS PERFORMED, AORTIC VALVE WAS REPLACED
The hospital's statement indicated that a by-pass procedure was performed on the right coronary artery of Önder's heart, and the aortic valve was replaced. The statement continued: "However, due to such a large dissection and involving the right coronary artery that supplies the heart, despite the success of all surgical processes, the right side of the heart is not contracting well, while the left side is contracting well. After the nearly 12-hour surgery, our patient Mr. Önder was taken to our intensive care unit with ECMO (heart circulation support device). His life-threatening condition still continues."
