The package typically includes the cost of the tests too. The common ones before an augmentation cystoplasty include some  blood tests such as glucose level tests, blood clotting tests, blood chemistry, and blood count test.  Some other tests conducted for balloon septostomy includes chest x ray and electrocardiogram.

Are the pharmacy and medicines cost included in the package?

Is there any post-treatment expense after getting Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty?

Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty increases the heart rate because your blood pressure is reduced. A catheter with a balloon is being attached to the sheath into your heart using fluoroscopy.  You may feel some flushing sensation or metallic taste in your mouth but this will be only for few minutes. The valve is then inflated to open  up to three times. Once the procedure is complete, you will be taken to the recovery unit for observation and your heart rate is being monitored. Once you are well, then you will be taken to normal ward. The post treatment stay are being included in the package.
