Cardiac Surgery Transfer Antalya — Bypass, Valve & Stent Patient Service

Cardiac Surgery in Antalya — Patient Pathway

Antalya hosts several JCI-accredited cardiology centers with international reputations for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve replacement, stent placement, pacemaker implantation, and ablation procedures. Surgical teams trained at Cleveland Clinic, Charité Berlin, Royal Brompton London. Costs are 65–80% lower than Germany or UK for equivalent care.

Why cardiac surgery is THE highest-stakes medical tourism

Cardiac surgery patients face unique transfer challenges:

  • High-risk anesthesia — extended hospital monitoring required
  • Post-op restrictions — no flying for 6+ weeks (DVT risk)
  • Limited mobility — cannot lift arms above shoulder for 6 weeks (sternum healing)
  • Medication-dependent — anti-coagulation requires precise scheduling
  • Emergency response — patient may need urgent re-evaluation

WeCare's cardiac patient service is medically-prepared — vehicle stocked with first-aid, oxygen on request, AED training for chauffeurs, direct hotline to cardiac unit dispatchers.

Typical 14-day pathway with WeCare

Day 1 — Arrival - AYT pickup with Mercedes V-Class (extra-comfortable seat, no aggressive driving) - Hotel check-in — preferably 4-5 star hotels with elevator, climate control - Travel ECG reviewed (we have you bring this for first-day baseline)

Days 2–3 — Comprehensive pre-op evaluation - Day 2: Echocardiogram, coronary angiography, blood work, anesthesia consultation - Day 3: Surgical team conference, final treatment decision, patient/family briefing - Free WhatsApp consultation with surgeon for questions

Day 4 — Surgery Day (CABG / valve / stent) - 06:00 fasting - 07:30 WeCare transfer (companion separate vehicle) - CABG (bypass): 3–6 hour surgery, ICU 24-48 hours, ward 5-7 days - Valve replacement: 4–7 hour surgery, ICU 48-72 hours, ward 7-10 days - Stent placement (angioplasty): 1-2 hour procedure, no overnight ICU usually

Days 5–10 — Hospital recovery - Daily family visitation transfers (companion-friendly schedule) - Cardiac rehabilitation begins in-hospital (Day 3 post-op for bypass) - Medication regimen finalization - Pain management transition (IV to oral)

Day 11 — Hospital discharge to hotel - Cardiac-friendly transfer: reclining seat, oxygen on standby, slow ride - Hotel check-in to recovery-prepared room (raised toilet, accessible) - Daily nurse visit option - Anti-coagulation injection coordination

Days 12-13 — Hotel recovery + light rehabilitation - Daily 30-minute walks (chauffeur accompanies if needed) - Light hotel-arranged meals (cardiac diet) - Optional gentle outpatient cardiac rehab sessions

Day 14 — Final assessment + discharge - Final cardiology check, ECG, medication review - Discharge documents in 4 languages - Flight may be deferred — most patients stay 2-4 weeks before flying - WeCare extends hotel stays as needed
