How long is the typical treatment and recovery timeline?
The hospital stay for TAVR in China is usually 5 to 7 days, including pre-procedure testing, the procedure itself, and initial recovery. Most patients are able to walk within 24 hours after the minimally invasive procedure. Full recovery to normal activities typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for about 6 weeks. Follow-up appointments are scheduled at 1 month and 6 months post-procedure, often via telemedicine for international patients.
