Patient question
After cardiovascular interventional surgery, what issues should be confirmed before flying?
Answer reviewed by Li Yan, Chief Physician
Professional answer
First, confirm with the interventional team whether it is appropriate to travel, whether follow-up has been completed, medication and activity restrictions, how to handle discomfort during the trip, and medical resources at the destination. Bring sufficient medication, prescriptions, and discharge documents, but do not change medication timing on your own; if you still have recent chest pain, shortness of breath, or other abnormalities, you should be evaluated first.
