A significant component of TAVI Procedure Cost in India is the heart surgeon's fees. IndiCure only recommends highly experienced, skilled and board-certified heart surgeons who can deliver excellent results. While the charges may vary based on the surgeon's experience, you can be confident that you are in safe and capable hands when opting for an affordable heart surgery in India with IndiCure Health Tours.
In the pursuit of excellence in patient care, the medical field continually introduces new techniques and technologies into surgical procedures. These innovative advancements are intended to improve the surgical outcomes, reduce recovery times, and increase the overall effectiveness of treatments. While these advancements can significantly benefit patient care, they may also lead to higher TAVI cost in India.
Selecting an accredited medical facility with skilled and qualified medical staff is essential for the success of the TAVI procedure in India. Larger cities in India generally provide superior medical facilities and more experienced heart surgeons, leading to higher costs. IndiCure Health Tours recommends surgical facilities in these larger cities to prioritize quality of care and ensure patient safety.
The overall surgery-related expenses include the pre- and post-surgical expenses. The pre-surgical expenses vary with the age and medical condition of the patient and thus the number and type of investigations that are required.

Here is a set of questions you should consider asking before commencing your journey for TAVI Procedure in India.
Prepare to answer questions about your:
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or Transcatheter aortic valve Replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive heart procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly (aortic valve stenosis). The procedure replaces/implants the aortic valve with a catheter.
Between the left lower heart chamber (left ventricle) and the body's main artery is the aortic valve (aorta). Blood flow from the heart to the body is reduced if the valve does not open properly. TAVI can help persons with severe aortic valve stenosis alleviate their symptoms and enhance their chances of survival.
The TAVI procedure is performed using one of two approaches, allowing the cardiologist or surgeon to choose which one provides the best and safest way to access the valve:
TAVI may be an option for people who are at intermediate or high risk of complications from surgical aortic valve replacement (open-heart surgery). The decision to treat aortic stenosis with TAVI is made after you consult with a team of heart and heart surgery specialists, who work together to determine the best treatment option for you. TAVR patients often spend less time in the hospital than those who get surgical aortic valve replacement.
If you have any of the following conditions, your doctor may consider TAVR:
The patient receives sedation or general anesthesia during the TAVI procedure. The surgeon may access your heart through a blood vessel in your leg or through a tiny incision in your chest.
A hollow tube (catheter) is inserted through the access point. The surgeon uses advanced imaging techniques to guide the catheter through your blood vessels, to your heart and into your aortic valve.
Once the new valve is positioned, a balloon on the catheter's tip is inflated to expand the replacement valve into the appropriate position. When it is certain the valve is securely in place, the catheter is removed.
You will spend one or two days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after TAVI and around 4-5 days in the hospital room before you are discharged from the hospital. Your doctor may prescribe blood thinners and antibiotics to you, which should be taken without fail.
Cardiac Rehabilitation may be scheduled while you are in the hospital. Many people begin feeling better immediately after their procedure; however, it may take weeks before feeling fully recovered.
TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation) may enhance your overall health and quality of life by relieving the signs and symptoms of aortic valve stenosis. TAVI can also help people live longer.
It is critical to maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle as you recover and to help prevent further heart problems.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an abbreviation for transcatheter aortic valve implantation, while TAVR is an abbreviation for transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The process and tactics are identical. When discussing your treatment options, your doctor may use the terms interchangeably.
The tissue valves used in surgical aortic valve replacement have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years, according to medical literature.
Any cardiac procedure has risks involved and sometimes are life-threatening risks as well. The survival rate is thus a critical measure. At our panel of best cardiac hospitals in India TAVR survival rate is more than 98%.
The TAVR operation takes three to four hours to complete. It takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes to implant a heart valve. The remaining time is spent inserting lines, ensuring you're asleep, checking your breathing, and removing lines once the process is over.
Medical literature shows that on average, a 42-year-old patient who has an aortic valve replacement (AVR) with a tissue valve can anticipate to live till he is 58 years.
Patients who cannot tolerate medications that thin the blood or prevent blood clots, or have an active infection in the heart or elsewhere are not candidates for TAVR surgery.
You may expect to spend around 5-6 days in the hospital, with at least 1 to 2 days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Depending on how healthy you were before the operation, recovery from valve surgery can take some time.
No, the heart is not stopped during TAVR surgery. During the surgery, your heart will continue to beat. This is not the same as open heart surgery, which involves your heart being stopped and you being hooked up to a heart and lung blood machine.
The average cost of TAVR in the USA ranges from $80,000 to $120,000, and TAVR surgery cost in India is around $42,000.
In addition to the actual TAVI Cost in India, there are several other expenses you should plan for when organizing your medical trip. These include:
Meals during your hospital stay are covered in your surgery cost. So, you need to budget for expenses for meals before and after the hospital stay.
Airfare from your location to the city in India where you will be having surgery. This may vary depending on your departure location and the time of booking.s
You will spend on taxi fares, ride-sharing services, or rental cars for traveling between the hospital and the hotel.
Lodging will be required before you get admitted to the hospital and after you get discharged from the hospital. Its cost may vary depending on proximity to the medical facility and the level of luxury you choose for yourself.
By accounting for these additional expenses along with the TAVI Cost in India, you can create a comprehensive budget to ensure a smooth, hassle-free, and comfortable recovery experience.
