Case review
Overview
What is cardiac care in India?
India’s high-volume heart centres treat bypass, valve, and congenital work as daily lists — which is why waits are measured in weeks and packages can sit well below US, UK, and Gulf self-pay. We shortlist by specialty volume and accreditation, then write theatre, ICU nights, and device costs before you fly.
Pathways
Types of cardiac care
- 01
Coronary surgery
On-pump and off-pump bypass (CABG) for blocked arteries, including multi-vessel disease.
- 02
Valve programmes
Repair or replacement of aortic, mitral, and other valves — surgical or transcatheter where listed.
- 03
Devices
Pacemaker, ICD, and CRT implants with named hardware on the quote.
- 04
Paediatric & congenital
Structural heart programmes for children and adults with congenital disease, matched by volume.
Treatments
Common cardiac procedures
- 01
Heart bypass (CABG)
Grafts around blocked coronaries. Stay usually includes ICU then ward nights listed on the quote.
- 02
Valve replacement
Surgical or TAVI/TMVR pathways depending on the file — the route is named before you travel.
- 03
Angioplasty & stents
Cath-lab work when surgery is not the first line. Stent brand and count are written in.
- 04
Device implants
Pacemaker and defibrillator programmes with follow-up interrogation planned before discharge.

Why this pathway
Why is cardiac treatment needed?
01
Blocked arteries and failing valves do not wait for a year-long queue.
02
Volume matters: teams that do this list daily have a different rhythm than occasional centres.
03
A written quote lets the family see ICU nights and device costs before flights.
04
Second opinions can confirm whether surgery, a stent, or medical management is the next step.
Timing
When should you see a specialist?
- 01
Chest pain, breathlessness, or a confirmed blockage on angiogram
- 02
A murmur or echo that shows a valve that needs a decision
- 03
Faints, a very slow or fast pulse, or a device already recommended
- 04
A child with a congenital lesion and a long wait at home
- 05
You want a second theatre plan before committing locally
After the theatre
Precautions & aftercare
- Cardiac rehab and wound care start on the ward; the discharge pack lists medicines and restrictions.
- Do not fly until the surgical team clears you — we plan Recovery nights if the ticket is a week out.
- INR or device checks are scheduled before you leave India when they apply.
- Teleconsults after you land home sit with the same coordinator.
Stay on
Need nights after discharge?
Guest house, service apartment, or a hotel near campus — arranged as Recovery, not a tourist add-on.
Is Indian heart surgery only for low-cost packages?
No. We match by volume and accreditation first. The cost difference is a consequence of scale, not a lesser theatre.
What does cardiac surgery cost in India?
The figure on this page is an indicative starting band, not a brochure package. After a specialist reads your reports we write a quote with theatre, implant or consumables, ICU and ward nights, and attendant stay listed separately. Estimates are marked as estimates.
How soon can we travel?
Most planned cases list a theatre window in weeks, not months — once reports are complete and you have approved a hospital. Visa timing depends on your passport and mission; we issue the invitation after you accept a quote.
Will the hospital see my reports before I say yes?
No. Files stay with MedMax until you approve a match. You can stop after a second opinion.
Can a family member stay with me?
Yes. Attendant beds and nearby stay are listed on the quote. After discharge we can arrange a Recovery stay if you need more days before the flight home.
Is this page medical advice?
This page is guidance for families planning care in India. Diagnosis and treatment decisions remain with your clinicians.
