A few but they are necessary
You will have to follow up with your cardiologist for life at least once a year.
If you have an uncomplicated surgery and post-op course, you will probably need one follow-up visit unless there are wound problems or you develop arrhythmias. Usually, you will see your cardiologist several weeks after your follow-up surgery visit and not go back to the surgeon unless wound problems occur.
