A member asked:
When would you perform an elective surgery after an acute cva?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several months: if it is for a truly elective surgery like a knee replacement, I would recommend waiting 4 months or so. If it is for something that has some urgency to it, would wait 2 months. Hope this helps.
