About the Procedure
What is Heart Transplant?
A heart transplant is a major surgical procedure in which a diseased, failing heart is replaced with a healthy donor heart, typically performed for end-stage heart failure that has not responded to medications, devices, or other surgeries. It is considered when the patient's own heart can no longer sustain adequate circulation despite optimal treatment. The procedure requires lifelong immunosuppression and close post-operative monitoring to prevent organ rejection.
Who may be considered?
Heart Transplant may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
The recipient's diseased heart is removed and a donor heart is implanted by separately connecting both the superior and inferior vena cava, preserving the donor's atrial anatomy and improving long-term heart function.
2 approaches available for this procedure:
Bicaval Orthotopic Heart Transplant
Most CommonThe recipient's diseased heart is removed and a donor heart is implanted by separately connecting both the superior and inferior vena cava, preserving the donor's atrial anatomy and improving long-term heart function.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $1,500 - $3,500
ECG, 2D Echocardiogram, Cardiac MRI, Right and left heart catheterization, Chest X-ray, CT chest, CBC, Kidney and liver function tests, Blood group and tissue typing (HLA), Viral serology (HIV, Hepatitis B & C), Pulmonary function tests
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $70,000 - $130,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~5-7 days
Hospitalisation: ~21-28 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~90 days recommended
Total stay: approx 100-120 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Pre-transplant cardiac evaluation and donor matching coordination
- Surgeon, anesthesia and cardiac surgical team fees
- ICU stay and post-operative monitoring
- Immunosuppressive medication initiation and dosing protocol
- Endomyocardial biopsy for rejection surveillance
- Standard room accommodation during hospital stay
Usually Not Included
- Donor heart procurement/allocation charges (regulatory dependent)
- Lifelong immunosuppressive medications after discharge
- International/local flights and visa costs
- Long-term follow-up biopsies and imaging after return home
- Companion accommodation and meals
Recovery and follow-up
Patients typically remain in India for around 3-4 months post-transplant for close monitoring, serial biopsies and immunosuppression titration before being cleared to travel home, after which lifelong cardiology follow-up is essential.
Risks
Key risks include organ rejection, infection due to immunosuppression, bleeding, and long-term complications such as coronary allograft vasculopathy or kidney impairment from medications.
Alternatives
For select patients, alternatives may include a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as destination therapy or bridge to transplant, optimized medical heart failure therapy, or in rare cases total artificial heart implantation.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.
Reports required
- Latest 2D echocardiogram and ejection fraction report
- Cardiac catheterization/angiography reports
- Cardiac MRI or CT if performed
- Recent ECG
- Complete blood count and metabolic panel
- Blood group and HLA tissue typing results
- Detailed cardiologist's clinical summary and medication history

Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.
How we selected these doctors

Our methodology
How GAF Healthcare selects doctors
Doctors may be included when they meet relevant criteria for heart transplant. This is a transparent listing methodology, not a clinical recommendation or paid ranking:
01
Relevant specialty
cardiovascular surgery expertise is mapped from the doctor's listed specialty and profile information.
02
Procedure relevance
heart transplant is listed among the doctor's procedures or areas of expertise, using matching terms where appropriate.
03
Hospital affiliation
The doctor is currently affiliated with a recognised hospital in the GAF directory. Hospital details and availability can change, so confirm them before booking.
04
Professional experience
Experience is displayed from the doctor's available professional profile and is used as the ordering signal when the page lists doctors.
05
Data verification
Doctor and hospital information is checked against the records available to GAF and updated when new information is supplied. It is not a substitute for confirming credentials directly.
06
No paid ranking
Being featured does not automatically mean the doctor is ranked number one. GAF does not sell position on this page.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about Heart Transplant in Delhi NCR, India
How many cardiovascular surgery doctors are listed for heart transplant in Delhi NCR, India?
22 doctors in our Delhi NCR, India directory currently list heart transplant among their procedures.
How do you choose which cardiovascular surgery doctors to list?
A doctor appears on this page when their listed specialty maps to Cardiovascular Surgery and their profile names heart transplant (or a matching term) among the procedures they perform. Doctors are not ranked by a proprietary "best" score — the order follows years of listed experience (highest first), the same field shown on each doctor's profile. This page does not display aggregate star ratings.
Can I compare the listed cardiovascular surgery doctors before booking?
Yes. Review each profile's listed experience, qualifications, procedures and hospital affiliation, then discuss your reports and options with a qualified doctor before making a decision.
Do the listed doctors treat patients from outside India?
International-patient availability can differ by doctor and hospital. Contact the care team to confirm language support, appointment timing and whether the doctor can review your reports remotely.
Can I request a second opinion from a doctor on this page?
You can ask for a records review or second opinion through the enquiry form. The doctor must assess your reports and history before giving advice; this page is not a diagnosis.
What is heart transplant?
Heart Transplant is a medical procedure whose exact approach depends on the diagnosis, anatomy, previous treatment and overall health. A qualified specialist should explain whether it is appropriate for you.
Who may be considered for heart transplant?
Suitability is decided after a specialist reviews your symptoms, diagnosis, investigations, medicines and medical history. The same procedure is not suitable for every patient.
What tests are usually reviewed before heart transplant?
The required review varies by case and may include existing imaging, laboratory results, pathology or other specialist reports. Your treating team will confirm which tests are needed rather than relying on a fixed list.
How long does recovery from heart transplant take?
Recovery depends on the approach, the reason for treatment and your health. Ask the treating hospital for a personalised hospital stay, follow-up and return-to-activity plan.
What alternatives or risks should I discuss for heart transplant?
Ask a qualified specialist about procedure-specific risks, expected benefits and possible non-surgical or alternative approaches. These cannot be determined safely from the procedure name alone.
How much does heart transplant cost in India?
Cost varies by hospital, city and individual case. Use our cost calculator for a personalized estimate — see the link on this page.
What can change the cost of heart transplant?
The hospital, surgeon, procedure approach, investigations, medicines, length of stay and any treatment for complications can affect the final quote. Request an itemised estimate after records review.
Are there cardiovascular surgery doctors for this procedure in other India cities?
See the "Doctors in other cities" links on this page for the full India list.
What should international patients send before travelling for heart transplant?
Send relevant reports, scans, pathology results, medication details and a clear medical history for review. The care team can then ask the hospital what additional information or tests are required.
Can GAF Healthcare help with travel and hospital coordination?
Our coordination team can explain the next steps and available support, including appointment communication and travel planning. Visa, transport and accommodation arrangements depend on the patient's case and confirmed hospital plan.
