A typical estimate for implantable devices for heart defects in Gurgaon is around $3,500 (about ₹3.32 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 $1,900 (about ₹1.80 lakh). It is likely to be nearer $7,000 (about ₹6.64 lakh) if the arteries are harder to treat, extra stents or devices are needed, or you stay longer.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for implantable devices for heart defects, 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

Implantable closure devices are small occluders guided in by catheter to seal holes or open vessels in the heart, such as an atrial septal defect (ASD), PFO or PDA, so that open-heart surgery is not needed.

The common secundum type of ASD often suits a device, a PDA is often sealed with a coil or plug, and a PFO may be closed in selected patients after certain types of stroke.

Large or awkwardly placed defects, and other types of ASD, usually still need surgery.

The NHS Golden Jubilee leaflet describes a tube passed through a groin vein with the device opened across the hole over about one to two hours, usually followed by a night in hospital.

It reports stroke and death in under 1%, major blood vessel complications in about 5% and device movement in under 1%, and advises waiting at least six weeks before flying.

Flying home: the NHS Golden Jubilee leaflet advises waiting at least 6 weeks before flying after ASD device closure, and the cardiologist sets the timing for other devices.

A Gurgaon quote for implantable devices for heart defects is normally made up of these items:

• Work-up before the procedure: blood tests, ECG and earlier scans.
• Catheter lab charges: lab time, imaging and wires, catheters or devices.
• Specialist fees: for the interventional consultant.
• Defect: ASD, PFO, PDA or some VSDs, and its size.
• Device: size and brand chosen from scans.
• Anaesthesia: general, or local with sedation.
• Stay: usually one night.

Ask the Gurgaon hospital for a written, itemised estimate that names the device or implant brand, the expected intensive care days and the room category.

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.

The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), part of the Quality Council of India and accredited by ISQua, sets India's national hospital standard, and its website lets you confirm whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is 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.
