How long is the typical treatment + recovery timeline?
For most pediatric heart surgeries, the hospital stay is 1 to 3 weeks, including intensive care and step-down monitoring. Full recovery at home typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, with gradual return to normal activities. International patients should plan for a total stay of 4 to 6 weeks in China to allow for pre-surgery evaluation, the procedure, and initial follow-up.
