CEM ARITÜRK

Professor CEM ARITÜRK is a distinguished cardiovascular surgeon currently serving as Professor in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery at Istinye University Faculty of Medicine. Born in Izmir on August 23, 1979, he completed his medical education at Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, graduating in 2003 after beginning his studies in 1997.

Professor Aritürk's research interests span multiple critical areas within cardiovascular surgery including cardiopulmonary bypass management, mitral valve repair techniques, endovascular therapies, and vascular surgery complications. His work particularly emphasizes intraoperative monitoring techniques, transfusion practices, and minimally invasive surgical approaches. He has published extensively on cerebral and renal monitoring during cardiac procedures, demonstrating a commitment to improving patient safety and outcomes through evidence-based practice.

His publication record from 2008-2015 reveals a consistent focus on optimizing surgical techniques and understanding physiological responses during cardiac procedures. Notable research themes include cerebral oxymetry applications, management of dilutional anemia during bypass, endoscopic vein harvesting techniques, and endovascular repair of aortic pathologies. His work often addresses practical clinical challenges with methodologically sound investigations.

Professor Aritürk has received significant recognition for his research contributions, particularly through competitive national awards:

• 1st Prize in Oral Presentation Competition at the 21st National Congress (2015, Cappadocia)
• 1st Prize in Oral Presentation Competition at the 20th National Congress (2014, Marmaris)
• 1st Prize and 3rd Prize in Oral Presentation Competition at the 19th National Congress (2013, Trabzon)

His advising and collaborative work appears to focus on cardiovascular surgical techniques and outcomes research, with numerous co-authored publications indicating active mentorship of junior researchers and surgeons. Professor Aritürk maintains an active research program with publications spanning clinical investigations, technical innovations, and analysis of surgical outcomes in cardiovascular surgery.
