Heart Bypass Surgery in India
Also known as CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary bypass surgery, triple bypass surgery, quadruple bypass surgery, open heart bypass surgery
The short answer
Heart bypass surgery (CABG) in India costs between $5,500 and $8,500, compared to $70,000-$200,000 in the US. The procedure reroutes blood around blocked coronary arteries using a healthy vessel graft, performed by internationally trained surgeons at JCI-accredited hospitals, with success rates above 95%.
About Heart Bypass Surgery
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), commonly called heart bypass surgery, treats coronary artery disease by creating a new route for blood to flow around one or more blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. Surgeons use a healthy blood vessel — typically from the leg (saphenous vein), chest wall (internal mammary artery), or arm (radial artery) — as the graft.
Single, double, triple, and quadruple bypass
The terms single, double, triple, or quadruple bypass refer to how many coronary arteries are grafted during the procedure. The number depends on how many vessels are significantly blocked, not on the severity or complexity of a single blockage.
On-pump vs off-pump (beating-heart) CABG
Traditional CABG uses a heart-lung machine to temporarily take over circulation while the heart is stopped. Off-pump CABG, performed on a beating heart, is available for select patients and can reduce certain risks and shorten recovery.
