Why consider treatment in India?
Many international patients consider India for pulmonary stenosis treatment for several reasons, including:
More affordable estimates
Competitive indicative costs compared with many other countries, for similar clinical standards.
Internationally accredited hospitals
Hospitals experienced in treating international patients.
Experienced specialists
Doctors who regularly manage similar cases.
Care coordination support
A team to help with planning, medical translation and follow-up.
About the Procedure
What is Balloon Pulmonary Valvotomy?
Balloon Pulmonary Valvotomy (BPV) is a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure used to treat pulmonary valve stenosis in children. A specially designed balloon catheter is guided across the narrowed pulmonary valve and inflated to stretch it open, relieving the obstruction to blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. In most cases, it eliminates the need for open-heart surgery and offers excellent long-term relief for isolated pulmonary stenosis.
Who may be considered?
Balloon Pulmonary Valvotomy 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 standard technique using a single balloon catheter advanced across the pulmonary valve, suitable for most infants and children with isolated valvular pulmonary stenosis.
2 approaches available for this procedure:
Single-Balloon Pulmonary Valvotomy
Most CommonThe standard technique using a single balloon catheter advanced across the pulmonary valve, suitable for most infants and children with isolated valvular pulmonary stenosis.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $200 - $600
Echocardiogram, ECG, chest X-ray, CBC, coagulation profile, pediatric cardiology consultation
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 - $6,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: ~2 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~5 days recommended
Total stay: approx 8 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Cardiac catheterization lab charges
- Balloon catheter device cost
- Interventional pediatric cardiologist fee
- Post-procedure ICU/monitoring
- Standard private room stay
- Nursing and in-hospital care
Usually Not Included
- Initial consultation, visa and international flight costs
- Post-discharge medications
- Follow-up echocardiograms after discharge
- Accommodation for accompanying family members
- Management of unrelated pre-existing conditions
Recovery and follow-up
Most children are discharged within 2-3 days of the procedure and can resume normal daily activities within a week; follow-up echocardiograms are recommended at 1 month, 6 months, and annually thereafter to monitor valve function.
Risks
Possible risks include transient arrhythmia, new or worsening pulmonary valve regurgitation, restenosis requiring repeat intervention, and bleeding or vascular injury at the catheter access site.
Alternatives
Alternatives include open-heart surgical pulmonary valvotomy for complex, dysplastic, or severely calcified valves, or continued medical monitoring for mild, asymptomatic pulmonary stenosis.
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
- Recent echocardiogram report showing pressure gradient across the pulmonary valve
- ECG report
- Chest X-ray
- CBC and coagulation profile
- Pediatric cardiology consultation notes
- Records of any previous cardiac catheterization or surgery
- Growth chart (height and weight) of the child
- Details of any associated congenital heart defects
Patient information needed

Common questions
FAQs about Balloon Pulmonary Valvotomy in India
What is Pulmonary Stenosis?
Pulmonary stenosis is a narrowing of the pulmonary valve or the area around it that restricts blood flow from the heart to the lungs, most commonly caused by a valve that did not form normally before birth. The degree of narrowing — classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on the pressure gradient across the valve — determines how the condition is monitored and managed.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Pulmonary Stenosis?
Common symptoms can include breathlessness on exertion, fatigue, heart palpitations, and in more severe cases, chest discomfort, dizziness, or fainting; infants with critical pulmonary stenosis may show cyanosis (bluish skin colouration). A heart murmur detected during examination is often the first clinical sign, particularly in children. Symptoms and physical findings alone are not sufficient to establish a diagnosis or gauge severity — formal cardiac investigations are required.
How is Pulmonary Stenosis diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a clinical examination and a chest X-ray and electrocardiogram (ECG) to look for signs of right-sided heart strain. Echocardiography (cardiac ultrasound) is the primary diagnostic tool and is used to measure the pressure gradient across the pulmonary valve — a peak gradient below 36 mmHg is generally considered mild, 36–64 mmHg moderate, and above 64 mmHg severe, though clinical context always informs these thresholds. In selected cases, cardiac MRI or cardiac catheterisation may be used to obtain more detailed anatomical or haemodynamic information before a treatment decision is made.
How is Pulmonary Stenosis treated?
The appropriate management approach depends on the severity of the stenosis, the patient's age, symptoms, and right ventricular function as determined by a qualified cardiologist or cardiac surgeon. Mild pulmonary stenosis in adults and children often requires only regular monitoring with no immediate intervention. Moderate to severe stenosis, or mild stenosis with significant symptoms, is typically addressed with a catheter-based procedure — most commonly Balloon Pulmonary Valvotomy — or, in anatomically complex cases, open surgical repair.
Can Pulmonary Stenosis be treated without a procedure?
For mild pulmonary stenosis, active surveillance with periodic echocardiography is a well-established and appropriate pathway; many patients with mild stenosis never require intervention throughout their lifetime. There is no medication that reverses or resolves the structural narrowing itself, though certain drugs may be used to manage secondary symptoms such as arrhythmias. The decision to move from monitoring to an interventional approach is based on objective measurements and individual clinical assessment, not symptoms alone.
When is Balloon Pulmonary Valvotomy considered for Pulmonary Stenosis?
Balloon Pulmonary Valvotomy may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Pulmonary Stenosis?
Pulmonary stenosis in children and adolescents is primarily evaluated and managed by a paediatric cardiologist, while adult patients are typically seen by an adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) cardiologist. In cases requiring surgical correction, a congenital or paediatric cardiac surgeon will be involved as part of a multidisciplinary team.
How do I choose a doctor for Pulmonary Stenosis?
When selecting a centre or specialist, it is worth asking about their annual volume of Balloon Pulmonary Valvotomy procedures, their experience with your specific age group (paediatric or adult congenital), and whether a dedicated multidisciplinary congenital heart team — including imaging specialists and cardiac anaesthetists — is involved in planning and follow-up care.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
