We Completed the Procedure With a Balloon and Stent Via the Wrist in About 40 Minutes.

Prof. Dr. Ercan Akşit, a cardiology faculty member at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Hospital who performed the angioplasty on Turkish comedian Cem Yılmaz, said the artist's condition is stable. "Cem Bey came to us today with a heart attack affecting the front of the heart. He was conscious when he arrived.

We immediately took him to the angiography lab. We completed the procedure with a balloon and stent via the wrist in about 40 minutes. He is in intensive care.

His condition is stable now. We plan to continue monitoring him here for 2 days." I hope he reunites with his family soon, Akşit said. Answering reporters' questions after the statement, Akşit said all procedures were successfully completed at the university.

"He can be discharged in 2 days like our other patients if his condition remains stable. Right now, we opened the artery related to the heart attack. We will examine the other side branch in detail later.

Maybe no procedure will be needed for it; it can be managed with medication." Akşit noted that Yılmaz arrived with one of the major heart attacks a person can have. The colleagues at Ayvacık State Hospital intervened very well. Our 112 ambulance directed very quickly.

We intervened within about 2 hours, so most of the tissue did not die, and we got him to bed without turning into heart failure. I want to thank everyone here. Everyone from Ayvacık onwards intervened well since the chest pain started.
