Travel after Angioplasty

Hi,

I'm new to group. I had 3 stents put in 10 years ago and now need to have another one - scheduled for PCI on 10th October. I have a holiday booked to Cuba on 9th November, I'm curious to know if I would be OK to travel 4 weeks after procedure or if I need to cancel.

Secondly I had travel insurance which will cover cancellation costs but Insurers won't give any further cover but have said they may reconsider after procedure completed and Doctor confirms I'm fit to travel. Anybody know any travel insurers who would be able to geve me worldwide trave cover once Doctor says I'm fit to travel please.
