The cost of heart valve replacement in Mexico typically runs from $12,500 to $19,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s expertise, the type of valve used (mechanical or tissue), and whether the procedure is minimally invasive or open-heart. In the United States, the average cost is _price_compare_us_average_ (per AHA). Heart valve replacement in Mexico is about _price_percent_discount_% less than in the U.S.
Mexican hospitals usually include pre-op tests, the surgery itself, anesthesia, the valve implant, a hospital stay, medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the procedure, with separate charges for anesthesia, the valve, ICU care, and aftercare. Always confirm exactly what’s included in the quoted price at each hospital.
