Minimally Invasive or Open Surgery?
Not every patient requires open-heart surgery. Many conditions can be treated through catheter-based or minimally invasive techniques.
However, some complex conditions are best managed through conventional surgery.
The right approach depends on anatomy, disease severity, and long-term outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all blocked arteries require surgery?
No.
Some patients can be managed with medication or lifestyle changes, while others may benefit from minimally invasive procedures such as coronary stenting or catheter-based interventions. The appropriate treatment depends on the severity of the disease, symptoms, and overall cardiovascular risk.
Can treatment recommendations be provided before I travel?
Yes.
Many patients receive a remote specialist review before making travel arrangements. Medical records, imaging studies, and previous test results can often be reviewed in advance to help determine potential treatment options and expected timelines.
What cardiovascular conditions do you commonly evaluate?
We commonly assist patients with:
•Coronary artery disease
•Blocked coronary arteries
•Atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias
•Heart valve disease
•Heart failure
•Pacemaker and rhythm management
•Complex cardiovascular conditions requiring multidisciplinary evaluation
Is open-heart surgery always necessary?
No.
Many cardiovascular conditions can now be treated using minimally invasive or catheter-based techniques. However, some complex conditions may still require conventional cardiac surgery. Treatment recommendations depend on individual anatomy, disease severity, and long-term outcomes.
What minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures are available?
Depending on the condition, treatment options may include:
•Coronary stent procedures (PCI)
•Catheter ablation for arrhythmias
•Pacemaker implantation
•Structural heart interventions
•Selected minimally invasive cardiac surgery techniques
Specialists will determine whether these approaches are appropriate for each patient.
Can I receive a second opinion before deciding on surgery?
Yes.
Many international patients seek a second opinion before proceeding with major cardiac procedures. Remote case review can help clarify treatment options and determine whether less invasive alternatives may be available.
How long do I need to stay in Shanghai?
The required stay depends on the diagnosis and treatment plan.
Many minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures can be completed within approximately 1–2 weeks, including evaluation, treatment, recovery, and discharge.
More complex surgical procedures may require longer stays.
How quickly can I return to normal activities?
Recovery varies by procedure.
Patients undergoing minimally invasive treatments often return to light daily activities within days, while recovery following major cardiac surgery generally requires a longer rehabilitation period.
Can I fly home after treatment?
In many cases, yes.
Once specialists confirm that recovery is progressing appropriately and travel is considered safe, patients are typically able to return home according to their treatment and recovery plan.
What records should I submit for a remote review?
Helpful records may include:
•Cardiology consultation notes
•Coronary CT or angiography reports
•Echocardiogram results
•ECG or Holter monitoring reports
•Previous procedure records
•Medication lists
