Private Heart Surgery Within Two Weeks

At The Keyhole Heart Clinic, we offer Private Heart Surgery Within Two Weeks of Assessment for people because we know that delaying heart surgery is not ideal once a decision is made that it is necessary. After clinical assessment and tests, suitable patients may be able to have surgery within two weeks.

Your consultant will explain whether this pathway is appropriate for you after reviewing your condition, medical history, test results, the procedure recommended, and the availability required to plan treatment safely. We offer online and face-to-face consultations, with access to diagnostic facilities in London and Nottingham.

How the Two-Week Heart Surgery Pathway Works

When waiting for heart surgery is a concern, clear information and prompt clinical assessment matter. Our team aims to make the process straightforward, while ensuring that every treatment decision is based on your individual clinical needs.

1. Contact our team

Call us or send an enquiry to arrange an initial consultation. If you have referral letters, scan results, or other relevant medical information, our team can explain how to share them securely before your appointment.

2. Consultant assessment

You will be assessed by an experienced cardiac-surgery team. Your consultation may take place online or face to face, depending on your needs and the information already available.

3. Tests and treatment planning

Your consultant will review the tests needed to understand your condition and determine the most appropriate treatment. This may include diagnostic investigations, pre-operative checks, or further specialist input.

4. Confirming your treatment plan

If surgery is recommended and you are clinically suitable for the rapid pathway, our team will discuss the procedure, its expected benefits and risks, likely recovery, practical arrangements, and the next available treatment options.

5. Surgery and follow-up care

Your care continues after surgery. Before treatment, you will receive information about the planned procedure, hospital stay, follow-up, and the recovery support appropriate to your individual circumstances.

Important: A two-week timeframe is an aim for suitable patients after assessment. It is not a guarantee, and the timing of treatment depends on clinical requirements, completed tests, hospital and theatre availability, and your individual treatment plan.

Could Keyhole Heart Surgery Be an Option for You?

Keyhole heart surgery is a minimally invasive approach that may be considered for certain heart conditions and procedures. It is not suitable for every patient or every operation. Your consultant will advise whether keyhole surgery, conventional open surgery, a catheter-based procedure, or another approach is most appropriate for you.

The Keyhole Heart Clinic provides assessment, advice, second opinions, and treatment planning for a range of cardiac conditions. Your care plan will be based on a careful review of your diagnosis, symptoms, overall health, investigations, and personal circumstances.

Why Choose a Rapid Private Heart Surgery Assessment?

A prompt assessment can help you understand your options sooner and, where surgery is appropriate, begin planning treatment without unnecessary delay. At The Keyhole Heart Clinic, the pathway is designed to bring together consultation, diagnostic planning, treatment decisions, and practical coordination as efficiently as possible.

Our team is led by Mr Inderpaul Birdi, and we offer consultations in London and Nottingham, as well as remote consultations where clinically appropriate. We will explain each stage of the process, answer your questions, and give you the information needed to make an informed decision with your clinical team.

Heart Surgery Costs and Insurance

We will give you clear information about fees once your treatment plan is understood. If you are self-funding, the indicative cost of keyhole heart surgery may start from £49,000, depending on the procedure required, the hospital, and your health needs. A personalised estimate will be provided after assessment.

Many private medical insurers recognise the work of the clinic team. If you plan to use insurance, please contact your insurer to confirm your cover and the authorisation process before treatment. Our team can explain the information you may need for your consultation.
