After you go to the operating room and are asleep, you are prepared for surgery with the insertion of monitoring catheters and a breathing tube. This preparation phase takes one to one and a half hours.
Cardiac surgery takes about five hours, but it may range between three and six hours if the surgery is uneventful. Your surgeon will be able to give you an estimate of how long you'll be in the operating room.
