Endovascular Coiling Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of endovascular coiling in Gurgaon typically ranges from $7,500 to $12,000 USD (about ₹7.11 lakh to ₹11.38 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for endovascular coiling in Gurgaon is around $8,500 (about ₹8.06 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If the procedure is planned and you go home the same day or the next morning, your bill is likely to be closer to $7,500 (about ₹7.11 lakh). It is likely to be nearer $12,000 (about ₹11.38 lakh) if the arteries are harder to treat, extra stents or devices are needed, or you stay longer.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for endovascular coiling, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Stents, balloons or closure devices
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Endovascular coiling treats a brain aneurysm from inside the blood vessel, filling it with very small platinum coils passed through a slim tube so that blood no longer flows into it.

University College London Hospitals (UCLH) says that coiling is done under general anaesthetic, with a catheter passed from the groin or wrist to the aneurysm, normally taking one to three hours and followed by at least a day on the ward.

Stents, flow diverters and WEB devices are used for some aneurysms.

UCLH reports a stroke risk of about 5 in 100, and when a stent is used, two blood thinners are taken for months, which raises the risk of bleeding.

Plan one to two weeks off work, seek urgent help for severe headache, vomiting or drowsiness, and attend the scans that check the aneurysm stays sealed.

Flying home: UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance gives a figure for coronary angioplasty (around 5 days when there are no complications) but not for every catheter test, so your specialist decides once the entry site is healed.

A Gurgaon quote for endovascular coiling is normally made up of these items:

• Tests beforehand: bloods, an ECG and a review of earlier imaging.
• Catheter laboratory: room time, X-ray imaging and the wires, catheters or devices used.
• Interventional consultant: whose fee differs between hospitals.
• Aneurysm size and shape: the complexity.
• Stent or other device: if required.
• Ruptured or unruptured: emergency or planned.
• Intensive care: and length of stay.

Brain and spine treatment costs depend on complexity, intensive care and any devices, so complex cases in Gurgaon can cost more than the range above.

Many of Gurgaon's multi-speciality hospitals run catheter laboratories with cardiac surgeons on the same site, which matters if a catheter procedure needs to be converted to surgery.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Where a Gurgaon hospital has an international patient desk, ask whether it can issue the letter for your e-Medical visa and help with airport pickup, interpreters and a place to stay nearby.
