A typical estimate for mitral valve repair in Gurgaon is around $3,500 (about ₹3.32 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If your surgery is planned, you recover without problems and you stay in a shared room, 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 your operation is more complex or a repeat operation, you need longer in intensive care, special valves or grafts are used, or you choose a private room.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for mitral valve repair, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Intensive care days

Mitral valve repair stops a mitral valve leaking while keeping the patient's own valve, often by reshaping the leaflets, replacing torn chords and fitting a supporting ring.

Cleveland Clinic surgeons report that repairing a degenerative, prolapsing mitral valve restores normal life expectancy and avoids lifelong anticoagulation, with most patients needing no further procedure for up to 20 years, although about 10% develop a leak again within 10 years.

A yearly echocardiogram is advised after repair.

Rheumatic valves, common in India, are often too scarred to repair and are more often replaced.

A transoesophageal echo usually shows whether repair is likely, so agree beforehand what will happen if repair is not possible during the operation.

Flying home: UK aviation guidance has no specific figure for this procedure, so fly after the surgeon's review and ask about clot prevention on long journeys.

A Gurgaon quote for mitral valve repair is normally made up of these items:

• Work-up before surgery: angiogram, echo, blood tests and anaesthetic review.
• Theatre and perfusion: operating time and the heart-lung machine team.
• Cardiac ICU days: often the most variable part of the bill.
• Cause: degenerative or rheumatic disease.
• Approach: open, smaller cut or catheter.
• Ring and materials: used in the repair.
• ICU and total stay: about a week.

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.

Gurgaon has several large private hospitals with cardiothoracic theatres, perfusion teams and cardiac intensive care, so overseas patients can collect written estimates from more than one before they travel.

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.
