  1. Pre-Arrival Assessment<\/strong>
    Before traveling, our cardiac surgery team evaluates your medical records, echocardiography results, and current medications through an online consultation. This allows us to confirm the need for valve replacement and plan the most suitable surgical approach (mechanical or biological valve).<\/li>
  2. Airport Transfer and Hospital Admission<\/strong>
    Upon arrival, our international patient coordinators provide airport pickup and accompany you to the hospital. Admission is completed the same day to begin pre-operative preparation.<\/li>
  3. Pre-Operative Evaluation (Day 1)<\/strong>
    A full medical workup is performed, including:
    \u2022 Blood tests
    \u2022 ECG
    \u2022 Chest X-ray
    \u2022 Echocardiography
    \u2022 CT scan if needed
    The cardiac surgeon and anesthesiologist review your results and discuss the surgical plan in detail.<\/li>
  4. Day of Surgery (Day 2)<\/strong>
    Heart valve replacement is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon removes the damaged valve and replaces it with a mechanical or biological prosthetic valve.
    The surgery typically lasts 3\u20134 hours. After the procedure, you are transferred to the ICU for close observation.<\/li>
  5. ICU Stay (1\u20132 days)<\/strong>
    Your heart function, breathing, and vital signs are monitored continuously. Most patients transfer to the general ward within 24\u201348 hours.<\/li>
  6. General Ward Recovery (3\u20134 days)<\/strong>
    During recovery, you will receive:
    \u2022 Pain control
    \u2022 Early mobilization
    \u2022 Breathing and physiotherapy exercises
    \u2022 Daily cardiac monitoring
    \u2022 Wound and medication management
    Total Hospital Stay: 5 Nights<\/strong><\/li>
  7. Discharge and Follow-Up<\/strong>
    Upon discharge, you will receive personalized guidance on medications (including anticoagulants for mechanical valves), physical activities, wound care, and follow-up recommendations.
    Our international team provides 24\/7 WhatsApp support after you return home.<\/li>
  8. Optional Rehabilitation Program<\/strong>
    A structured cardiac rehabilitation program is available for patients who wish to extend their stay and optimize recovery.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
