Prof. Dr. Bilal Boztosun

Prof. Dr. Bilal Boztosun is a senior cardiologist and interventional cardiology specialist currently practicing at Medipol Mega University Hospital, Istanbul, where he is also recognized as Head of the Cardiology Department. He completed his medical education at Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine and later specialized in cardiology through Florence Nightingale / Kadir Has University. He became Associate Professor in 2007 and Professor in 2015, reflecting a long-standing academic and clinical career in advanced heart care.

Dr. Boztosun is particularly known for his work in interventional cardiology, with expertise in the diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of complex cardiovascular disease. His clinical focus includes coronary artery disease interventions, peripheral and renal stenting, carotid and mesenteric stenting, chronic total occlusion treatment, aortography, IVUS/FFR-guided assessment, and management of structural heart disease. His profile also highlights experience in advanced procedures such as TAVI, MitraClip (M-TEER), TriClip (T-TEER), EVAR/TEVAR, peripheral stenting, and closure of congenital heart defects.

Alongside his clinical work, Prof. Dr. Boztosun has a strong academic background. Medipol’s official page lists 27 international publications and 24 national publications, while his university and research profiles also show a broad scientific output and ongoing academic involvement. He has contributed to cardiology literature in areas such as coronary interventions, TAVI-related complications, vascular access, and structural heart procedures.
