      LVAD cost in India starts from US $ 90,000 and varies depending on your medical condition and history, surgeon, hospital and the city where you choose to get the procedure done.

      Factors that affect LVAD cost in India:

      • Device Cost

        The major cost that contributes to your LVAD surgery in India is going to be the device cost. Our panel of best heart hospitals in India use only FDA approved devices, which costs anywhere from $60-70,000 in the USA.

      • Heart Surgeon’s Fees

        An important expense when it comes to your LVAD in India procedure is going to be your cardiologist’s fees. IndiCure recommends only experienced, skilled, board-certified surgeons who are capable of delivering successful heart surgeries. Although the charges may vary depending on the experience of the surgeon, you can be completely assured of being in safe and experienced hands when you choose heart surgery in India with IndiCure.

      • Type of Surgical Approach

        With the hopes of improving patient care, new techniques and technologies are often introduced to the surgical process. Such innovative advancements in the surgical approach can increase costs.

      • Surgical Facility

        Having your LVAD procedure in an accredited surgical facility by skilled and qualified medical staff is a critical factor. Moreover, the geographical location of this facility also affects the quote. But, IndiCure provides you with a projected estimate that will be affordable.

      • Surgery-Related Expenses

        The surgery-related expenses include the pre- and post-surgical expenses. The pre-surgical expenses are associated with the age and medical condition of the patient and thus the number and type of investigations required. Post-surgical expenses may include prescription medications and follow-up consultations.

      The cost quoted above is indicative and should not be taken as the final cost of the surgery. The final cost can be ascertained after the surgeon has evaluated the patient. The cost in Indian Rupees can vary based on exchange rate.

      We at IndiCure, understand that you travel with a budget in mind and do not like to be greeted by surprises after arrival in India. We thus club all these expenses and give you the package cost that is inclusive and affordable at the same time.

      Your case manager shall give you an estimated cost of your surgery after discussing your medical reports with the surgeon. The final cost, however, shall be confirmed after your consultation with the surgeon.

      How LVAD Works?

      What is Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)?

      A ventricular assist device (VAD), also known as a mechanical circulatory support device, is an implantable mechanical pump that assists in the pumping of blood from your heart’s lower chambers (ventricles) to the rest of your body. In those with weakening hearts or heart failure, a VAD is used.

      Although a VAD can be implanted in your heart’s left, right, or both ventricles, it is most commonly used in the left. A left ventricular assist device is one that is implanted in the left ventricle (LVAD), and serves as a partial artificial heart.

      The device can be used for short, intermediate, or long-term– typically to treat advanced heart failure.

      While you wait for a heart transplant or for your heart to become strong enough to pump blood on its own, you may have a VAD implanted. If you have heart failure and are not a suitable candidate for a heart transplant, your doctor may propose that you have a VAD implanted as a long-term treatment.

      How does the LVAD work?

      The LVAD is placed by performing an open heart surgery. The components of an LVAD vary depending on the device type, but there are four core components:
      In the chest, the pump unit is installed. The surgeon places it at the apex of the heart, where it gets blood. This blood is then sent to the aorta (the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body) via a tube. It pumps blood from the left ventricle to the aorta continuously.
      A driveline (cable) and a control system are connected to the pump (controller). The driveline connects the device to the controller (a small computer) on the outside of your body through the skin on your belly (abdomen). The controller controls the pump and displays messages and alarms to aid in system operation.

      The LVAD is powered by a power supply (rechargeable batteries or a wire that fits into an electrical outlet).

      When is LVAD required?

      Your doctor may recommend that you have a VAD implanted if:

      You are waiting for a heart transplant : While you wait for a donor heart to become available, you may have a VAD installed temporarily. A VAD can keep blood flowing even if your heart is damaged, and it will be removed once your new heart is placed. It may also assist to enhance the performance of other organs in your body that aren’t operating properly, as well as other medical issues. A “bridge to transplant” is a VAD that is installed while you are waiting for a heart transplant.

      Because of your age or other medical issues, you are currently ineligible for a heart transplant : People with heart failure who aren’t ideal candidates for a heart transplant are increasingly using VADs as a long-term treatment. If you’re over the age of 65, you might not be eligible for a heart transplant. In that case, the VAD would be implanted as a heart failure treatment. A VAD can help you live a better life.

      Your heart’s function can become normal again : If your heart failure is only temporary, your doctor may recommend a VAD to keep your heart strong enough to pump blood on its own. The term “bridge to recovery” is used to describe this situation.

      It’s also feasible that a VAD will be placed for a brief period of time during or after heart surgery. For a few weeks or months, you may have a VAD installed.

      How is LVAD done?

      Open heart surgery is needed to implant an LVAD. The surgery is done under general anesthesia and you will be asleep the entire time. The procedure lasts 4-6 hours.

      Step 1

      The surgeon makes a long incision on the breastbone and accesses the heart by spreading the rib cage.

      Step 2

      The surgeon connects one end of the LVAD tube to the heart’s left ventricle and a tube exiting the other end of the external LVAD to the aorta.

      Step 3

      A small electrical cord connected to the LVAD (a driveline) exits from the upper abdomen and is connected to a power supply (either batteries or a plug-in) and a small computer to operate the device.
      Once the device is working properly, the patient is taken off cardiopulmonary bypass and the chest is closed with stitches.

      What is the Recovery after LVAD like?

      Patients with an LVAD must carefully follow the guidelines given by their cardiac surgeon in order to improve their quality of life. Your ability to return home will be determined by your rate of recovery and medical condition.

      Following surgery, cardiac rehabilitation is a vital program to participate in. Some activities, such as swimming, contact sports, and weight lifting, may be prohibited. Before and after the LVAD implant operation, it’s critical to maintain healthy lifestyle adjustments.

      What Results Can I Expect from LVAD?

      The LVAD improves the function of the kidneys, liver, brain, and other organs by increasing blood flow to the body; it also improves the patient’s strength and ability to participate in activities like cardiac rehabilitation by increasing blood flow to the body. The benefits of LVAD include:

      Greater life expectancy: Patients with severe heart failure who receive an LVAD live longer than those who receive only medical treatment.

      Better quality of life: Patients with severe heart failure can use an LVAD to participate in activities that were previously impossible.

      Fewer symptoms of heart failure: Shortness of breath, excess fluid, and weariness are all signs of heart failure that an LVAD can help with. This allows patients to feel better and participate in everyday activities, avoiding heart failure hospitalization.

      Questions to Ask

      We at IndiCure completely understand your concerns and it is always our endeavor to provide the best outcome for every patient. Following is the list of questions you must ask before you embark on your journey for LVAD in India.

      • Is the heart surgeon board certified?
      • How experienced is the Surgeon?
      • Which language does the surgeon speak?
      • Is the treatment done in a well-equipped facility?
      • What treatment option is recommended for me?
      • What about the risks involved?
      • Does the surgeon use a certified anesthetist?
      • How long will the recovery period be?

      Patient Testimonials

      My dad was advised cardiac bypass surgery in CA, USA, but because of being uninsured, such high costs of cardiac surgery in the US, we were really not able to afford it. IndiCure has actually helped in saving my dad’s life and we are really grateful for the same.
      I am falling short of words, to express my gratitude to the surgeon who was very helpful and courteous.
      Will recommend IndiCure to everyone!

      – John Smith ( California, United States of America )
      Procedure : CABG surgery

      My son 4 years old was born with a heart defect which the doctors said needed a highly specialized surgery. Our cardiologist highly spoke of Indian surgeons and suggested us to go to India and in hindsight now I realize how right he was!
      My son was successfully operated and I must thank Indicure for the excellent arrangements they made.

      – Patricia Munene ( Ethiopia )
      Procedure : ToF surgery

      I would like to thank IndiCure for all they have done for my mother and me. Without IndiCure our stay would have been very difficult. They made our journey to India very pleasant and were always very attentive to our needs.
      I would recommend IndiCure to anybody wanting to come to India for medical treatment.

      – Sarah Jakada ( Zimbabwe )
      Procedure : Mitral Valve Replacement

      Thank you so much IndiCure for getting my baby free from the hole in her heart. We are looking forward to see her play and grow normally like other children.
      Really appreciate the care and help we received from Dr Ruchika and entire team of IndiCure.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      1. Does an LVAD take the place of your heart?

      No. The heart is not replaced by a left ventricular assist device. Blood is taken from the left ventricle and sent to the aorta by the LVAD. It beats in time with the patient’s heart. This aids the left ventricle’s blood pumping.

      2. How long can a person live with a LVAD?

      With an LVAD, a patient can live for five and a half years or more. According to studies, 80–85 percent of patients survive for a year after receiving an LVAD, and 70–75 percent survive for two years. Patients who do not have an LVAD usually have a life expectancy of 12 months or fewer.

      3. How long is hospital stay after LVAD surgery?

      Most patients spend five to six days in the ICU after LVAD surgery before being transferred to a regular hospital room. The majority of patients stay in the hospital for two to three weeks./p>

      4. How serious is LVAD surgery?

      The implantation of an LVAD is an extensive surgery requiring a two-three week stay in the hospital. Bleeding, blood clots, stroke, and infection are some of the dangers associated with the surgery.

      5. Is an LVAD permanent?

      It’s known as “Bridge to Transplant” when an LVAD is installed in a patient who is waiting for a heart transplant. The patient’s LVAD could stay in place for several years until a suitable heart donor becomes available. An LVAD can be installed as a permanent option if a patient is not eligible for a heart transplant.

      6. Is LVAD the same as a pacemaker?

      A pacemaker and an LVAD serve very distinct roles. While an LVAD aids in the efficient pumping of blood, a pacemaker aids in the correction of an irregular or slow heartbeat. A pacemaker does not assist with pumping; rather, it generates electrical stimulation that regulates the heartbeat.

      7. Can you work with an LVAD?

      You will be able to work, exercise, and perform most of your other daily activities. However, you may need to make a few changes. You won’t be able to swim or play contact sports. If you’re flying, you’ll have to inform security that you have a device implanted.

      The IndiCure folks (Jagruti) hooked me up with THE BEST doctors for my heart issues. Period. The Physicians were thorough, professional, fast, proficient and affordable. Dealing with Indicure was super easy, super fast and a very pleasant experience. I HIGHLY recommend this process for those with no insurance or those who cannot afford the 20% co-pay for expensive procedures. Check the cost against prices in the USA folks.

      Both of us were very pleased with the professional care provided to us from the first email to enquiry to the moment we stepped foot in India. We have never received such wonderful hospitality and always attending to our needs. We would both certainly recommend Indicure for any treatments and/or surgeries. We have been utterly amazed at what India has to offer and will definitely visit again.
