The cost of open heart surgery in Germany typically ranges from $80,000 to $120,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, the specific procedure (such as bypass, valve replacement, or congenital repair), and the complexity of the case. In the United States, the average cost is $160,000 (per AHA data). This means open heart surgery in Germany is about 38% less than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include pre-operative diagnostics, surgeon and anesthesiologist fees, all surgical materials, ICU and hospital stay, medications, and post-op follow-up in the quoted price. In the U.S., costs for anesthesia, ICU care, and post-surgical rehab are often billed separately from the surgeon’s fee. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen German clinic.
