Hospitals and Cost of Closed Heart Surgery in India

Heart surgery is required to fix the functioning of the heart. The terms “open” and “closed” heart surgery are used to describe whether the procedure uses a heart-lung bypass machine support. Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery doesn’t use this machine and the heart chambers are opened during the procedure.

Closed heart surgeries include an aortic coarctation repair, vascular ring division, litigation or division of ductus arteriosus and repair of some pulmonary artery problems. Some of these surgeries deal with problems caused by a heart defect rather than the correction of the defect itself. This procedure has comparatively shorter hospitalization and recovery time and is also less painful.

According to surveys, the rate of heart treatment in India is 1/10th to 1/15th times lesser as compared to the UK and Britain. The treatment costs estimate nearly $5950 whereas the surgery costs $15000 in Turkey and $35000 in Hungary. Indian cities like Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad have the best care and specialization for these surgeries.
