What are the Different Types of Heart Surgeries and their Costs?

Heart surgery is performed to manage various cardiac disorders. After the surgery, the onset of symptoms is reduced, and further health complications can be prevented. 

Below, we discuss various surgical procedures and their associated cardiac conditions:

  1. Open heart surgery
  2. Interventional heart surgery
  3. Paediatric heart surgery

Open Heart Surgery in Thailand: Types and Cost

It is a type of surgery in which cardiac surgeons directly access the heart and its associated arteries by making an incision in the chest. This surgery is typically used to treat severe heart conditions such as:

  • Heart Valve repair or replacement

In this procedure, the damaged valve is first supported by a ring, and then it is either repaired by surgery or replaced with a prosthetic valve. 

The average cost of valve replacement surgery in Thailand ranges between USD 20000 and USD 26000. 

  • Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)/Heart bypass surgery

In this procedure, cardiac surgeons create a bypass around blocked arteries using grafts to act as a new pathway for the blood flow. 

The average cost of CABG in Thailand ranges between USD 19000 and USD 25000.

Interventional Heart Surgery in Thailand: Types and Cost

The most commonly performed interventional heart surgeries are listed below.

  • Pacemaker surgery

In this procedure, a battery-operated medical device (pacemaker) is surgically implanted in the heart. This device sends signals to different chambers of the heart and regulates the heart rate.

The average cost of pacemaker surgery in Thailand ranges between USD 7000 to USD 9000.

  • Transcatheter aortic valve implantation/replacement (TAVI/TAVR)

In this procedure, the damaged aortic valve is replaced with a prosthetic valve with the help of a catheter.

The average cost of TAVI in Thailand is approximately USD 25000.

  • Transcatheter mitral valve implantation/replacement (TMVI/TMVR)

In this procedure, a damaged mitral valve is replaced with a prosthetic valve by inserting a catheter. 

  • Angioplasty

A catheter is attached to a balloon, which expands and removes the blockage of blood vessels. Additionally, a stent is used to prevent restenosis.

  • ICD implantation

An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a small battery-powered device that sends a mild electric shock to reset an abnormal heartbeat and prevent cardiac arrest. 

  • Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

It destroys the cells responsible for generating abnormal heart rhythms. The average cost of Radiofrequency ablation for cardiac arrhythmia is approximately USD 12000.

Paediatric Heart Surgery in Thailand: Types and Cost

Paediatric surgery is performed on infants and children.

  • Glenn procedure

           This is performed to treat hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), tricuspid atresia, and double outlet right ventricles in children. 

  • Atrial septal defect (ASD) surgery

It is identified by a hole in the wall between the heart's two upper chambers and treated using a device to plug the hole, a patch to cover it, or                  then closed by sutures.

  • Ventricular septal defect (VSD) surgery

​​​​​​​            In this procedure, the abnormal opening in the wall between the heart's main pumping chambers (the ventricles) is fixed.
