The cost of intracranial arterial angioplasty and stenting in Germany typically ranges from $25,000 to $45,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the experience of the interventional radiologist or neurosurgeon, the type and number of stents used, and the complexity of the patient’s vascular anatomy. In the United States, the average cost is $75,000 (per AHA/ASA). This means the procedure in Germany can be about 53% less expensive than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include pre-op imaging (MRI, CT angiography), the angioplasty and stenting procedure, all stent materials, anesthesia, 1–3 days of monitoring in a neuro ICU, routine medications, and follow-up imaging. In the U.S., many of these services—like advanced imaging, stent hardware, and ICU care—are billed separately from the surgeon's and hospital fees. Always confirm exactly what’s covered with your chosen clinic.
