Treatment Options
The clinic offers both modern and traditional surgical treatments for aortic valve insufficiency.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive percutaneous procedure. A new valve is delivered via a catheter through a blood vessel, avoiding open-heart surgery. It usually involves a 3-5 day hospital stay and offers a faster recovery. The full package for TAVI typically runs from $13,130 to $15,320. This covers the procedure, anesthesia, and the hospital stay. Flights and additional accommodation are not included.
Open Heart Operation is the traditional surgical valve replacement method. This is an open-chest surgery for a permanent valve, known for its long-term durability. The final price for this surgery is determined separately after all diagnostics are complete. It includes a free follow-up exam and interpreter services.
Patients receive a free follow-up examination after their surgical treatment. The clinic's interpreters help international patients communicate throughout their care journey. To explore a personalized treatment plan for aortic valve insufficiency, contact the clinic for a consultation.
