Frequently Asked Questions
Heart surgery cost in India depends on the exact procedure, your diagnosis, the length of hospital stay and your medical report review. As a guide, procedures such as bypass, valve surgery and angioplasty are usually a fraction of private-hospital prices in Western and Gulf countries. VNR can obtain a personalised, all-inclusive estimate from DDMM Heart Institute after reviewing your reports.
DDMM Heart Institute is an NABH-accredited cardiac hospital with a dedicated cardiac ICU and an experienced surgical team that has performed over 10,000 cardiac surgeries. International patients receive English-language coordination and on-ground support from VNR throughout their stay.
Most bypass and valve patients plan for roughly two weeks in India: a short pre-operative assessment, several days in hospital after surgery, and supervised recovery before fit-to-fly clearance. Angioplasty patients usually stay a shorter time. Your exact stay is confirmed in your treatment plan.
