The cost of covered stent placement in Thailand typically ranges from $12,000 / ฿408,000 to $20,000 / ฿680,000. Pricing depends on the stent type (bare-metal, drug-eluting, or covered), the hospital, the complexity of the blockage, and the cardiologist’s experience. In the United States, the average cost is $45,000 / ฿1,530,000 (per ACC). This means covered stent placement in Thailand is about 64% less than in the U.S.
Thai hospitals generally include pre-op tests, the stent device, catheterization, local or general anesthesia, 1–2 days of hospitalization, medications, and follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the procedure and stent, with separate bills for anesthesia, hospital stay, and aftercare. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
