Specialty and country guide
Cardiac surgery treats selected coronary, valve, aortic and structural heart disease through open, minimally invasive or hybrid operations. Selection depends on anatomy, symptom burden, ventricular function, coronary and valve findings, operative risk and whether catheter-based treatment is appropriate.
Specialty overview
Cardiac surgery treats selected coronary, valve, aortic and structural heart disease through open, minimally invasive or hybrid operations. Selection depends on anatomy, symptom burden, ventricular function, coronary and valve findings, operative risk and whether catheter-based treatment is appropriate.
A specialty label is not a treatment recommendation. Safe planning requires coronary, valve and aortic anatomy, ventricular, lung, kidney and neurological risk, open, minimally invasive, hybrid and catheter alternatives. The named cardiac surgeon must review original records and explain alternatives, material risks, expected recovery and follow-up before travel or cost is finalized.
The directory below uses current catalog relationships for 15 heart operations. It does not rank clinicians or guarantee that every service is available at every campus. GAF confirms the doctor, hospital, clinical scope and written estimate for an individual case.
Clinical scope
A specialty can have diagnostic, medical, procedural, supportive or palliative roles. A diagnosis alone does not establish that any listed heart operation is appropriate.
The appropriate heart operation depends on the confirmed diagnosis, severity, patient factors and whether it will change treatment or function.

heart operations
The 15 current heart operation records in India are grouped by clinical approach. Every link opens a separate cost guide; a service or platform name is not a treatment recommendation.
These catalog services share a broad delivery setting, but each keeps its own indication, technique, risks, duration and written estimate.
CABG creates new routes around important coronary artery narrowings using arterial or venous grafts so blood can reach heart muscle beyond the blockages.
Heart valve replacement removes or excludes a severely diseased native valve and implants a mechanical or biological prosthesis when durable repair is unsuitable.
Heart valve repair reshapes and supports native leaflets, annulus, chords or adjacent structures to restore competent flow without replacing the valve.
Aortic root replacement removes diseased aortic root tissue beside the heart and reconstructs it with a graft while reimplanting the coronary arteries, with valve replacement or preservation as appropriate.
Mitral valve repair corrects leaflet, chordal and annular causes of regurgitation while preserving the patient's native valve.
Surgical aortic valve replacement removes a diseased aortic valve and implants a mechanical or tissue prosthesis through an operation using cardiopulmonary bypass.
Aortic aneurysm surgery replaces, excludes or reinforces a dangerously enlarged segment of the thoracic aorta using open, endovascular or hybrid reconstruction selected from location and anatomy.
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery uses smaller thoracic incisions for a specifically indicated valve, coronary or other heart operation while preserving the same clinical treatment goal.
Robotic cardiac surgery uses console-controlled instruments and small ports to perform a defined operation, most commonly selected mitral repair or limited coronary and intracardiac procedures.
Double valve replacement implants prostheses in two diseased heart-valve positions during one operation, commonly aortic and mitral, when durable repair is unsuitable.
Congenital heart surgery is an umbrella category for anatomy-specific repair or palliation of heart and great-vessel differences present from birth in children or adults.

Indicative planning ranges, not guaranteed hospital quotations. The treating team confirms the clinical scope, billing basis, schedule, admission, monitoring and exclusions after review.
Clinical decisions
Selection begins with a confirmed diagnosis and a precise clinical question. Review includes coronary, valve and aortic anatomy and ventricular, lung, kidney and neurological risk. A procedure name or scan finding alone is not enough to establish suitability.
The treating team considers open, minimally invasive, hybrid and catheter alternatives, current symptoms, medicines, previous treatment, comorbidities and the patient’s goals. Urgent or unstable illness may make travel inappropriate.
Alternatives and sequencing must be explicit. The specialist should explain why the proposed heart operation is preferred, what result is expected to change care, and how recovery and follow-up will continue after the patient returns home.
Treatment pathway
This specialty-specific pathway is configured from approved editorial content. The exact sequence changes with the diagnosis, selected heart operation and patient factors.
The cardiac surgeon reviews the diagnosis, prior treatment, current symptoms and original imaging or test material.
The team confirms coronary, valve and aortic anatomy, ventricular, lung, kidney and neurological risk, open, minimally invasive, hybrid and catheter alternatives and identifies missing investigations or urgent risks.
Reasonable non-procedural, procedural and staged alternatives are compared with expected benefit and material risk.
The written plan identifies the exact heart operation, technique, responsible clinician, campus and anticipated schedule.
Anaesthetic, medicine, infection, bleeding, organ-function and support requirements are checked as relevant.
The named team delivers care with procedure-specific safety checks and escalation arrangements.
The patient receives records, warning signs, medicine instructions, pending-result ownership and a follow-up plan.
Cost planning
Costs are shown by 2 compatible pricing bases rather than one misleading specialty-wide range. A personalized estimate follows medical-record review.
A cardiac surgery estimate is useful only when its billing basis and clinical scope are stated. Important scope includes the named operation, graft, valve or aortic prosthesis; heart-lung bypass, intensive care, blood products and rehabilitation. Unlike units must not be combined into one specialty average.
The written estimate should separate the named procedure or course from tests, professional fees, devices, medicines, pathology, ward care, intensive care and follow-up. Optional or complication-triggered charges should remain separate.
Catalog ranges are planning figures, not hospital quotations. The final amount can change after record review, examination, additional testing or a change in technique, device, duration or admission.
Technology
This list is derived from procedure relationships; it is not a hospital machine inventory. Technology availability must be confirmed for a named campus and treatment date.
What it is
The equipment, imaging, laboratory, anaesthetic and recovery resources required for the selected heart operation.
Why it may be used
Availability must be confirmed for the named procedure, clinician, campus and treatment date rather than inferred from a hospital specialty label.

International patients
Send the listed records before travel so a named cardiac surgeon can determine whether remote review is sufficient or further assessment is required. A preliminary opinion is not final clearance for treatment or flying.
Confirm the exact campus, clinician, procedure scope, estimate assumptions, expected stay, attendant needs and emergency arrangements before booking travel. Keep flights and lodging flexible until the clinical plan is accepted.
Before departure, obtain procedure and discharge records, pathology or test results, device details where relevant, medicine changes, warning signs and named contacts for pending results and follow-up at home.
Stay varies across the listed heart operations; use the procedure row as planning guidance rather than a promise. The treating team decides observation, admission and fitness to fly after reviewing clinical risk and recovery.
International patients should allow time for assessment, pending results and an early review. A changed plan, complication or need for rehabilitation can extend the stay, so flexible travel arrangements are safer than a fixed departure immediately after treatment.
Depending on the condition, the treating team may request:
India has GAF-linked cardiac surgeons and hospitals across several cities. Compare a named clinician, campus and complete clinical scope rather than assuming all hospitals offer every heart operation.
Compare like-for-like billing units, technique, devices, tests, admission, follow-up and exclusions. Travel cost and a headline procedure range should not outweigh clinical suitability, urgency or continuity of care.
Questions
A cardiac surgeon evaluates the relevant diagnosis, explains treatment options and coordinates procedure-specific assessment, delivery and follow-up.
Selection depends on coronary, valve and aortic anatomy, ventricular, lung, kidney and neurological risk, open, minimally invasive, hybrid and catheter alternatives, prior treatment, current health, alternatives and the patient’s goals.
The table shows planning ranges by compatible billing basis. A personalized written estimate is required because one specialty average would combine unlike scopes.
Only items expressly named in the estimate are included. Confirm imaging, pathology, laboratory work, medicines, implants, disposables and monitoring.
The page lists catalog-connected cardiac surgeons. It is not a ranking, and the named clinician must accept and review the case.
Hospitals require a matching specialist relationship for this page. Confirm the exact procedure, clinician, campus, equipment and date directly.
Records commonly include Echocardiogram images and report, Coronary angiogram or CT angiography in DICOM format, ECG, rhythm monitoring and cardiac-function records, plus current clinical notes and medicines.
Records can support a preliminary opinion, but final suitability may require examination, updated tests and review by the treating and anaesthesia teams.
Use each procedure’s typical operation or stay as guidance. Recovery, results, complications and fitness to fly can change the plan.
Often, if the treating and home teams agree on records, medicines, warning signs, pending results and responsibility for follow-up.
No. A catalog relationship does not guarantee acceptance, equipment, scheduling or procedure availability at every campus.
No. Expected benefits and risks are individual, and no clinician or facilitator can guarantee an outcome.
Medical information notice: This page provides general educational and travel-planning information. GAF catalog ranges are indicative planning figures, not quotations, recommendations or promises of availability or outcome. Diagnosis, selection, technique, risks, recovery and fitness to travel must be decided by a qualified cardiac surgeon and relevant multidisciplinary clinicians after reviewing the patient and complete records.

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
★★★★★
The hospitality was at its point. I appreciate the great service I got from the team. Being away from Home and get the feeling like you are at home is what Gaf is doing. Thank you once more, this have lifetime memories in my life.
★★★★★
Wonderful experience with Gaf Healthcare. I was quite hesitant before traveling. But the way entire journey has been planned, charted out and facilitated by Gaf was truly exceptional. Dr. Ritu in Max has treated me well. My eye surgery went well.
