Questions

Frequently asked questions

What types of cardiac procedures do Delhi hospitals perform?
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), valve replacement (aortic, mitral), angioplasty and stenting, pacemaker implantation, heart failure treatment, congenital heart defect repair, and minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
How long will I need to stay in Delhi for cardiac surgery?
For a bypass surgery, plan for approximately 3–4 weeks total: pre-surgery tests, surgery, ICU recovery, ward recovery, and the recommended rest period before flying. Valve surgery timelines are similar.
Is cardiac surgery in India safe?
Yes. India’s top cardiac hospitals (Medanta, Fortis Escorts, Apollo) have success rates comparable to leading US and UK centers. These hospitals are JCI and NABH accredited and perform thousands of procedures annually.
Can I bring my family with me?
Yes. One companion can apply for an X (attendant) visa simultaneously with your medical visa. Most hospital-area guesthouses comfortably accommodate patients and their families.
What is the minimum time between angioplasty and flying home?
Most cardiologists recommend waiting at least 3–5 days after a straightforward angioplasty before flying. For bypass surgery, typically 2–3 weeks minimum. Your surgeon will give specific advice based on your recovery.
Do I need to bring medical reports in English?
Yes, ideally. If your reports are in another language, bring the originals plus a translated copy. All Delhi hospitals have staff fully equipped to work with English reports.
How do costs compare to private hospitals in other countries?
Cardiac bypass at a private hospital in the US costs $40,000–$80,000; in the UK or UAE, $20,000–$45,000. The same procedure at Medanta in Delhi costs $5,000–$10,000, performed by internationally trained surgeons at a JCI-accredited hospital.
