Depends on the facility, the availability of an OR and cardiac surgeon, and on how urgent your need is based on your 'vitals' and immediate concerns. If truly urgent, perhaps a single day. If less urgent, one to two weeks.

2 ReactionsI’m not certain I understand the question. I think it implies a historical look at wait time after being placed on wait list. My response is about future scheduling. I have the procedure scheduled 4 months out, after receiving notification on what approach will be used. It is a2 step approach. The current wait is based on replacing pacemaker and(4 months) and then tricuspid repair a month later.
I asked to be placed on a wait list.
My comment does not reflect Mayo Clinic scheduling, I would delete if that option were available.
