Cardiac · India
Cardiac surgery covers bypass, valve, and rhythm procedures. We match you with hospitals and surgeons suited to your case, arrange a written quote before you travel, and coordinate every appointment — so you know what is included and what is not.

Case review
Overview
Cardiac surgery brings together bypass, valve repair or replacement, angioplasty, and rhythm procedures under one coordinated pathway. It suits patients who have already been told by a cardiologist that intervention is needed, and who want a second opinion, a faster date, or lower cost without losing on standard of care.
Each case starts with your existing reports — angiogram, echo, ECG — reviewed by a cardiac team before any hospital is confirmed. Matching depends on your specific diagnosis, ejection fraction, and any other conditions, not just the procedure name, so two patients with "bypass surgery" can be routed differently.
A quote at this stage covers surgery, standard stay, and routine follow-up; it does not include complications, extended ICU time, or unrelated treatment discovered after admission. We flag these boundaries early rather than after you have travelled.
Pathways
Each pathway below covers a distinct diagnosis and technique — your case is matched to the right one after report review.
For multiple blocked coronary arteries. A healthy blood vessel is grafted to reroute blood flow around the blockage, usually done as open heart surgery under general anaesthesia.
For damaged or narrowed heart valves. Depending on the valve and your anatomy, surgeons repair the existing valve or replace it with a mechanical or tissue valve.
A minimally invasive option for narrowed arteries. A balloon widens the blocked segment and a stent holds it open, often avoiding open heart surgery entirely.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement, done through a catheter rather than open surgery. Suited to some patients considered higher risk for conventional valve surgery.
For irregular heart rhythms or risk of sudden cardiac arrest. A small device is implanted to regulate or monitor the heartbeat, usually a short procedure.
Care desk
You do not need a finished hospital shortlist to start. Share what you have — letters, scans, or a short note — and a care manager maps the next clinical step for cardiac surgery before any report leaves MedMax.

Causes
Local wait times for bypass or valve surgery stretch beyond what a cardiologist recommends.
A second surgical opinion is wanted before committing to open heart surgery.
Quoted local costs are unclear or change after admission.
A specific technique, such as minimally invasive valve repair, isn't locally available.

Procedures
Why this pathway
01
Open heart surgery carries real risk, so surgeon experience with your exact procedure matters.
02
Post-surgical care and monitoring quality affect recovery as much as the operation itself.
03
A rushed booking can mean skipping pre-op tests that change the surgical plan.
04
Travel timing must account for fitness-to-fly clearance after major heart surgery.
Timing
Chest pain, breathlessness, or fatigue on exertion persists despite medication.
A cardiologist has already recommended bypass, valve, or rhythm intervention.
An echocardiogram or angiogram shows worsening blockage or valve damage.
A planned non-cardiac surgery requires cardiac clearance beforehand.
After the theatre
Stay on
Guest house, service apartment, or a hotel near campus — arranged as Recovery, not a tourist add-on.
Most bypass or valve cases involve a hospital stay of 5–7 days, followed by 10–14 days of supervised recovery before you're cleared to fly. Exact timing depends on the procedure and how your recovery progresses, and your surgical team will confirm dates once your reports are reviewed.
A quote typically covers the surgery itself, a standard hospital stay, routine monitoring, and an initial follow-up visit. It does not cover complications, extended ICU time, additional procedures found necessary during surgery, or care unrelated to your heart condition. We confirm these boundaries in writing before you travel.
Yes. Send your existing angiogram, echo, and ECG reports, and a cardiac team will review them and share their assessment, including whether surgery, angioplasty, or a non-surgical option looks appropriate, before you decide anything. This review carries no obligation to proceed.
Most hospitals allow one attendant to stay near the ward and, in many cases, in the room itself once you're out of intensive care. Arrangements vary by hospital and procedure, so we confirm companion access as part of your case plan before booking.
Your surgical team manages any complication as part of standard care, and it is documented and explained to you and your companion afterward. Costs tied to extended ICU stay or additional intervention are typically outside the original quote, and the hospital will share updated figures before proceeding further.
