Time in India
Some procedures, such as angioplasty, need only a few days in hospital. Bypass and valve surgery need a longer hospital stay and a recovery period in Chennai before you fly. Your surgeon decides when you are fit to travel. These are general ranges, and your own plan will differ.
Things to plan for
- Ask for fit-to-fly clearance in writing before booking your return flight
- Arrange a cardiologist at home who agrees to follow your care
- Bring your full medicine list and keep medicines in hand luggage
- Travel with a family member who can speak with the doctors for you
- Ask the hospital what happens if you need to stay longer than planned
