Heart bypass surgery: a blood vessel from elsewhere in the body is used to route blood around a narrowed or blocked artery of the heart.
Pending doctor checkA healthy blood vessel is taken from the chest, arm or leg and joined to the heart artery beyond the blockage, so blood flows around it. It can be done with the heart beating (off-pump) or with a heart-lung machine, and in some patients through smaller cuts.
People with several blocked heart arteries, a blocked main artery, or diabetes with heart artery disease, and those for whom stenting is not suitable.
Every patient gets their own estimate, in writing, from the hospital. These are the things that move it.
Room types, equipment and running costs differ from one hospital to the next.
A surgeon's fee follows their experience and how complex the operation is.
Keyhole or robotic surgery, and the make of any implant, can change the price.
Other conditions, earlier treatment and the tests you need before treatment all count.
Days in hospital, any time in intensive care and the weeks you spend recovering in India.
Physiotherapy, medicines to take home and follow-up visits are added only if your doctor asks for them.
The estimate is not final until the doctor has examined you in India. If anything changes, we explain it before you agree to it.

Usually about 2 to 3 weeks after surgery, after a check-up.
