Centro Médico Teknon is a JCI accredited hospital. This means it meets high international standards for patient safety and care.
What to Expect During TAVI
Before the procedure, you'll need some tests. These include an ECG, CT scan, angiography, and blood tests. Dr. Ruyra will review these results. He will determine if TAVI is right for you. The TAVI procedure itself is performed by Dr. Ruyra and his team.
The package includes a consultation with Dr. Ruyra, all necessary diagnostic tests, and your hospital stay. You will also receive an official medical report and a detailed travel plan. Follow-up visits are available for 250 EUR each.
