The cost of atrial septal defect (ASD) surgery in Ukraine typically ranges from $12,000 to $18,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, the type of ASD closure (open-heart surgery or device closure), and the complexity of the defect. In the United States, the average cost is $130,000 (per AHA). This means ASD surgery in Ukraine is about 88% less expensive than in the U.S.
Ukrainian hospitals usually include pre-op diagnostics, the surgery itself, anesthesia, ICU stay, standard cardiac devices or patches, medications, and follow-up care in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with separate charges for anesthesia, devices, hospital stay, and post-op care. Patients should always confirm exactly what’s included in the quoted package at each hospital.
