Dr. Kazım Özenç Minareci, Academic Leader in Interventional Radiology and Vascular Disease Management
Prof. Dr. Kazım Özenç Minareci is a distinguished Interventional Radiologist and Neuroradiologist at Liv Hospital, renowned for providing world-class care through advanced technology and a deeply patient-centric approach. His clinical expertise lies in performing complex, minimally invasive endovascular procedures that offer patients crucial alternatives to traditional open surgery, translating directly to faster recovery times and reduced hospital stays. Professor Minareci is a specialist in managing critical cerebrovascular conditions, including the endovascular treatment of brain aneurysms (using coiling techniques), ischemic stroke (through mechanical thrombectomy), and blockages in the carotid artery (carotid stenting).
His practice is built on the precise integration of cutting-edge imaging modalities such as computerized tomographic angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). These tools serve as the foundation for delivering highly accurate diagnostics and navigating intricate vascular structures. By focusing on non-surgical, catheter-based advanced treatments, Prof. Minareci successfully addresses high-risk conditions like brain hemorrhage and Moyamoya disease, embodying a modern approach where patient safety and comfort are the foremost considerations in achieving optimal clinical outcomes.
As a highly accomplished Professor and recognized academic authority, Prof. Dr. Kazım Özenç Minareci grounds his clinical practice firmly in evidence-based medicine. His standing as a leader is evidenced by his profound contribution to scientific research, with a high h-index and over 860 citations for his wide-ranging publications in esteemed international journals like the American Journal of Neuroradiology and Neuroradiology. His scholarly work has been pioneering, covering topics from the imaging of chronic substance abuse and unique case studies in spinal vascular malformations, to innovative endovascular techniques for arteriovenous fistulas and Behcet's disease.
This commitment to research ensures that his therapeutic strategies are continuously updated with the latest global findings. Professor Minareci’s role extends beyond the operating room, as he actively serves as an educator and mentor, contributing to the development of the next generation of radiologists and specialists. By actively engaging with academic collaboration and leading complex diagnostic imaging studies, he maintains a level of expertise and quality control that guarantees patients receive care informed by the most rigorous scientific standards.
