The cost of aortic aneurysm surgery in Germany typically ranges from $40,000 to $70,000. Prices vary depending on the type of aneurysm (abdominal or thoracic), the surgical method (open surgery or endovascular repair/EVAR), the hospital, and the surgeon’s experience. In the United States, the average cost is $212,500 (per Society for Vascular Surgery). This means aortic aneurysm surgery in Germany is about 74% less expensive than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include pre-op diagnostics (CT/MRI scans, bloodwork), anesthesia, the surgical procedure (open or EVAR), high-quality grafts or stents, ICU and hospital stay, and follow-up care in their price. In the U.S., many of these services—especially imaging, ICU, and follow-up visits—are billed separately. Always confirm with your clinic exactly what’s included in your quote.
