HEART SURGERY COST IN INDIA

Open heart surgery is a type of heart surgery where the chest is opened to reach the heart so that the surgeon can treat heart problems. This surgery is done to repair any abnormalities, damaged areas, insert implants or during a heart transplant to restore the normal functioning of the heart.

The Cost of open heart surgery in India 4000$

Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery and is a newer form of heart bypass surgery in India. It is a relatively new and advanced technique of performing coronary bypass for the treatment of coronary heart diseases. In this technique, the heart is approached through the side of the left chest via a small 4 cm incision. This cut is placed just under the nipple. The chest is entered between the ribs without cutting any bones and by splitting the muscle.

A pacemaker is a small electrical device that is implanted into the chest to control the pulse, which sends electric impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable heart rate and rhythm.

Cost of Pacemaker in India approx. 4200 USD

Kinds of pacemaker

Single chamber pacemaker: This Pacemaker has one lead that connects electrical impulses from the pulse generator to the one chamber of your Heart.
Dual-chamber pacemaker: A dual-chamber pacemaker carries electrical impulses from the pulse generator to either the ideal ventricle or the perfect atrium of your center.
Biventricular pacemaker: A biventricular pacemaker stimulates the lower chambers of the heart (the left and right ventricles) to make the heartbeat more efficient.

Cost of Valve Replacement in India approx. 6500 USD

Heart valve surgery is a procedure for treatment of heart valve disease. This takes place when one of the four heart halves that are responsible for pumping blood in the right direction are not functioning properly.

Basically, our heart is a pump that comprises muscle tissue. It consists of four chambers responsible for the pumping. The upper chambers are known as atria and the lower ones are referred to as ventricles. In between each of these chambers are valves which ensure the blood is flowing through the heart and into the right directions.

Pulmonary valve Replacement – This is present between right ventricle and pulmonary artery
Tricuspid valve Replacement – Present between right atrium and right ventricle
Mitral valve Replacement – This one can be found between left ventricle and left atrium
Aortic valve Replacement – This one is located between aorta and left ventricle.

Each valve consists of flaps that are known as leaflets for tricuspid and mitral valves, and cusps in the case of pulmonary and aorta valves. These valves close and open with every heartbeat. At times the valves are not able to close and open properly which in turn affects the blood flow from your heart to the body.

The atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart. There are two types of defect associated with the atrial septal – large atrial septal defect and small atrial septal defect. The large atrial septal defect may cause a major damage to the heart and lungs, whereas small atrial septal defect may occur incidentally, and may not be harmful or cause any problem.

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) surgery is a type of heart surgery. It’s done to correct a hole between the left and right ventricles of the heart.

Coronary angioplasty is a procedure to remove any blocks in blood flow through the artery. When untreated, these blocks can cause heart diseases or heart attack. In angioplasty procedure, the doctor introduces a catheter targeting the block and places a stent or a balloon to clear the narrowing. After heart angioplasty your heart regains the normal blood supply and begins to work efficiently.

Cost of Angioplasty in India approx. 3000 USD

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), also called Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the surgeon to replace a damaged or narrowed aortic valve by deploying a catheter through the blood vessels.

TAVR is an option for high-risk patients since it is a minimally invasive procedure of replacing a damaged aortic valve. TAVI procedure has proven to be a game-changer as it brings down the risk factor to the minimum.
