Heart surgery in South Korea typically costs between $10,400 and $61,500. Final prices depend on the specific surgical technique, the hospital's tier, and the patient's overall health condition. Patients traveling from the United States can expect 50-90% savings compared to domestic costs for similar cardiovascular procedures.
