Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about heart surgery procedures, recovery, and hospital visits

What should I expect during my initial consultation for heart surgery?

Your first consultation involves a thorough review of your medical records, diagnostic imaging (such as angiograms or echocardiograms), and a clinical evaluation by our lead cardiothoracic surgeons to determine the safest and most effective surgical approach.

How long is the typical recovery period following open-heart surgery?

Most patients spend 5 to 7 days in the hospital following open-heart surgery, including 1 to 2 days in our CTICU. Full recovery at home typically takes between 6 to 12 weeks, supported closely by our structured outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program.

Do you offer minimally invasive options for heart valve or bypass surgery?

Yes. Whenever clinically appropriate, our surgeons utilize advanced minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques, which require smaller incisions, reduce post-operative pain, and accelerate overall patient recovery.

How can I prepare my home and family prior to surgery?

Our clinical case managers provide a comprehensive pre-operative guide detailing home preparation, dietary guidelines, medication adjustments, and what assistance you will need during the initial weeks following hospital discharge.

Does Therapeftis Services assist with international patient medical travel?

Yes, we have a dedicated International Patient Services team that assists with medical visa letters, airport transfers, translator services, and accommodation arrangements for patients traveling from abroad.

What are the emergency admission protocols for acute cardiac events?

Our emergency cardiac triage center operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Patients experiencing acute chest pain or cardiac distress can arrive directly at our emergency entrance or contact our hotline for immediate ambulance dispatch.
