Expert Cardiac Surgery

This review helps him choose the safest approach for the heart valve repair or replacement.
Surgical Methods and Approaches
The hospital offers several ways to fix or replace heart valves. Surgeons prefer a minimally invasive approach when possible. This method uses a small incision under the right breast. If a patient is not a candidate for this, the doctor uses a standard median sternotomy. For those with mitral valve prolapse, endoscopic mitral valve replacement is also an option. These techniques focus on fixing the heart while keeping the body's recovery time short.
Package Details and Costs
The cost for heart valve services depends on the technique used. A valve repair may cost around $9,100, while a full valve replacement typically runs $12,500. For patients who qualify for a minimally invasive procedure, the price is around $15,900. These packages usually include several services:
- Operating room fees and surgical medications.
- Consultation and examination with the surgeon.
- Three days of hospitalization.
- Stay for one companion in the hospital room.
