HEART SURGERY COST IN INDIA
Heart surgery cost in India
Bypass surgery, valve replacement and angioplasty are priced very differently, and your health shapes the final plan. We get you a free written estimate from experienced cardiac teams before you travel.
Medical recommendations come from your qualified treating clinicians.
Why heart surgery costs differ
The procedure is the biggest factor, followed by your overall health. The main factors are:
- Bypass surgery (CABG), valve repair or replacement, or angioplasty with stents
- Mechanical or tissue valve, and the number of stents or grafts
- Open surgery, minimally invasive surgery or a catheter procedure such as TAVI
- Other conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease or a previous heart surgery
- Days in intensive care and in hospital
- Hospital, surgeon and room category
What a heart surgery estimate usually covers
Ask each hospital exactly what’s included. A typical package may cover pre-operative tests, surgery, the ICU and ward stay, and medicines during the stay. These are often extra:
- A different valve or more stents than the package assumes
- Extra days in intensive care
- Treatment of complications
- Medicines and cardiac rehabilitation after discharge
Stents and implant prices
India’s National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority sets ceiling prices for coronary stents. Ask each hospital to name the stent or valve type in your estimate, so you can compare like with like.
How long to plan for in India
After bypass or valve surgery, most patients spend about a week in hospital. Plan for about two to three weeks in India in total, so your surgeon can review your recovery before you fly. Angioplasty usually needs a shorter stay. Your hospital confirms the timeline after reviewing your reports.
Choosing a hospital and specialist
Compare hospitals on the specialist’s experience with your treatment, the written estimate and what it includes, and how follow-up will work once you are home.

Frequently asked questions
How much does heart surgery cost in India?⌄
It depends on the procedure, the valve or stents used, your health and the hospital, so we don’t quote a fixed price. Share your reports and we’ll get you a free written estimate.
How much does open heart surgery cost in India?⌄
Open heart surgery includes bypass and valve operations; the cost depends on the operation, intensive care days and the hospital. Hospitals send a written estimate after reviewing your reports.
What’s the difference between bypass surgery and angioplasty?⌄
Bypass surgery creates new routes for blood around blocked arteries through an operation. Angioplasty opens blocked arteries from inside using a balloon and usually a stent. Your cardiologist recommends which is right for you.
Which reports do I need?⌄
Usually your angiography report or CD, echocardiogram, ECG and recent blood tests. Your coordinator confirms the list for your case.
When can I fly home after heart surgery?⌄
Most patients fly about two to three weeks after bypass or valve surgery, once their surgeon agrees. Angioplasty patients can usually travel sooner.
Can a family member stay with me?⌄
Yes. A companion can apply for an e-Medical Attendant Visa, and we help you find suitable accommodation near the hospital.
