Prof. Dr. Erol ลener is a distinguished cardiovascular surgeon with over 35 years of experience in the field of cardiac and vascular surgery. He is currently serving as the Chief of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery at Rize University in Turkey. Dr. ลener specializes in minimally invasive cardiac surgeries, valve repair techniques, coronary revascularization, robotic heart surgery, and endovascular aneurysm repair.
He has also contributed significantly to academic research, publishing numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. ลener is a member of prestigious medical organizations, including the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery and The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Prof. Dr. Erol ลenerโs educational journey began at Istanbul University Medical School, where he completed his undergraduate degree in medicine in 1982. His passion for cardiovascular surgery led him to further specialize in the field, and he completed his residency in cardiovascular surgery at Ankara Tรผrkiye Yรผksek ฤฐhtisas Education and Research Hospital in 1989. During his academic years, Dr. ลener developed a strong interest in heart surgeries, which became the foundation of his professional career.
Prof. Dr. Erol ลener recognized for his expertise in robotic heart surgery, a cutting-edge approach that uses robotic systems to enhance the precision and outcomes of heart surgeries. His work in endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) has earned him acclaim as a pioneer in minimally invasive vascular surgery techniques, enabling patients with aneurysms to recover faster and with fewer complications.
Prof. Dr. ลener is an active member of several esteemed professional organizations, including the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) and The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS). His leadership in the field has earned him invitations to speak at numerous international conferences and symposia, where he shares his knowledge and experience with fellow surgeons.

Prof. Dr. Erol ลener specializes in various advanced cardiovascular surgeries, including minimally invasive cardiac surgery, valve repair, full arterial coronary revascularization, robotic heart surgery, and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR).
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery involves making smaller incisions than traditional open-heart surgery, leading to reduced recovery time, less pain, and a quicker return to normal activities. Prof. Dr. ลener performs this technique for various heart conditions, providing enhanced precision and reduced risk.
Full arterial coronary revascularization is a procedure in which arteries, rather than veins, are used to bypass blocked coronary arteries. This technique helps improve long-term outcomes, and Prof. Dr. ลener utilizes it for better durability and functionality.
