When an ischemic stroke occurs, every minute counts. Mechanical thrombectomy is the gold-standard treatment to remove the clot and preserve vital brain tissue, but it must be performed urgently. In Turkey, a network of advanced neurovascular centers (CNVs) maintains dedicated angiography suites operating 24/7.
In emergencies, Turquie Santé immediately activates this network, coordinating medical transfers, direct admission to the catheterization room, and seamless collaboration with interventional neuroradiology teams to maximize recovery.
How much does a mechanical thrombectomy cost in Turkey?
In the context of an emergency such as an ischemic stroke, it is natural to seek clear and reliable information about costs. The total cost of a mechanical thrombectomy is not fixed, as it depends on several medical and organizational factors, including:
- Technical complexity of the procedure: (number of thrombectomy passes, type and quantity of devices used).
- Duration of intensive care and neurovascular unit hospitalization, which may vary depending on neurological recovery and monitoring needs.
- Immediate post-stroke rehabilitation requirements when initiated during the hospital stay.
Turquie Santé is committed to clear, upfront pricing with no hidden costs. Following a rapid analysis of the patient's medical file and imaging studies, our medical committee issues a detailed, personalized, and firm cost estimate, covering all foreseeable medical expenses related to:
- The thrombectomy procedure
- Hospitalization and monitoring
- Standard post-procedure care
In a certified neurovascular reference center in Turkey, the cost of a mechanical thrombectomy generally ranges between $21,600 and $37,800, depending on the complexity of the case.
For comparison, equivalent treatment in Western Europe or the United States often costs two to three times more, without offering superior safety standards or technical performance.
