Our Methodology

How we selected these hospitals

A hospital appears on this page when Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery is among its listed specialties and it is located in UAE. Hospitals are not ranked by a proprietary "best" score — the order follows the listed rating (highest first), the same field shown on each hospital's profile.

What To Look For

How to Select the Best Hospital for Endoscopic Vein Harvesting in UAE?

Choosing the right hospital for endoscopic vein harvesting is one of the most important decisions in your treatment journey. A few factors are worth weighing before you decide:

International Accreditation

Look for a hospital with international accreditation such as JCI or NABH — see the accreditation badges shown for each hospital below.

Specialization

Check that the hospital's listed specialties actually include cardiothoracic & vascular surgery rather than only general care.

Capacity and Track Record

Bed count and year established (shown below for each hospital) are a reasonable proxy for scale and operating experience.

Transparent Costs

Ask for an itemised, all-inclusive estimate — hospital charges, room category and stay — before you travel. Our cost calculator (linked below) gives a starting estimate.

Clinical Overview

Understanding Endoscopic Vein Harvesting

Endoscopic Vein Harvesting (EVH) is a minimally invasive cardiac surgical technique used to harvest the great saphenous vein through small incisions for use as a conduit in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), offering significantly reduced wound complications, faster recovery, and superior cosmetic outcomes compared to traditional open-leg incision techniques.

5–8 days (including 1–2 days ICU monitoring post-CABG)
Hospital Stay
4–6 weeks (minimum 4 weeks post-CABG before international air travel is medically cleared; complex cases may require 6 weeks)
Total Stay in Country (Fit-to-Fly)
95–98% procedural success rate for EVH-assisted CABG at accredited partner centers
Success Rate

Clinical Overview

  • Coronary artery disease (CAD) results from atherosclerotic plaque accumulation within the coronary arteries, progressively reducing myocardial perfusion and precipitating angina, myocardial infarction, and ultimately heart failure.
  • When multi-vessel disease is confirmed — typically defined as involvement of two or more major coronary vessels or left main stenosis exceeding 50% — coronary artery bypass grafting remains the gold-standard revascularization strategy, demonstrating superior 10-year survival outcomes over percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with diabetes, reduced ejection fraction, or complex anatomical disease as stratified by the SYNTAX score.

Who is a Candidate?

  • ELIGIBLE PATIENTS:
  • Patients diagnosed with multi-vessel coronary artery disease (2- or 3-vessel disease) confirmed on coronary angiography with SYNTAX score typically >22, where CABG is preferred over PCI
  • Patients with left main coronary artery stenosis ≥50%
  • Patients with CAD and comorbid Type 2 diabetes, where CABG demonstrates a proven long-term survival advantage over stenting (FREEDOM trial data)
  • +24 more

Treatment Options & Approaches

  • STANDARD OPEN VEIN HARVESTING (Conventional — Reference Technique): The traditional method requires a continuous longitudinal incision from the ankle or mid-calf to the upper thigh, spanning 30–60 cm.
  • The saphenous vein is directly visualized, side branches ligated with sutures or clips, and the vessel excised.
  • While offering direct tactile feedback, this technique carries wound infection rates of 2–5%, significant postoperative leg pain, risk of delayed healing especially in diabetic patients, and prolonged functional recovery of the donor leg.

Recovery

  • PRE-OPERATIVE PHASE (Days -7 to 0 — At Home and In Destination Country):

Risks to be aware of

  • Endoscopic Vein Harvesting, when performed by a credentialed, high-volume surgical team, is a well-established and safe technique; however, patients and families must understand procedure-specific and CABG-related risks with complete transparency.

Common questions about Endoscopic Vein Harvesting

What is the cost of Endoscopic Vein Harvesting for Bypass Surgery in India vs. the UAE?
The total cost of CABG with Endoscopic Vein Harvesting in India ranges from approximately $5,500 to $12,000 USD, encompassing surgeon and anesthesia fees, the endoscopic harvesting procedure, ICU stay, standard ward hospitalization (5–8 days), post-operative medications, and routine pre-operative diagnostics at JCI- or NABH-accredited hospitals. In the UAE (Dubai or Abu Dhabi), the equivalent procedure at JCI- and DHA-licensed premium cardiac centers costs between $14,000 and $28,000 USD. The cost differential — India being approximately 40–60% less expensive — reflects differences in hospital overhead, labor costs, and market positioning rather than any difference in surgical quality or clinical outcomes. Both destinations offer internationally trained cardiac surgeons, fully equipped hybrid cardiac operating theatres, and cardiac ICU infrastructure meeting global standards. Costs can vary based on the number of bypass grafts required (2-vessel vs. 3-vessel CABG), on-pump vs. off-pump surgical approach, duration of ICU stay, and whether additional procedures such as valve repair are performed concurrently. GAF Healthcare provides a fully itemized cost estimate following review of your angiography and medical records, with no hidden charges.
How long do I need to stay in the country before I am fit to fly home after bypass surgery?
International air travel following CABG with Endoscopic Vein Harvesting requires a minimum of 4 weeks in-country before medical clearance for a long-haul flight can be granted. This timeline accounts for the critical post-operative recovery milestones: hospital discharge typically occurs at Day 5–8 following surgery; a wound review and ECG are conducted at Day 10–14; and a formal fit-to-fly clinical assessment — including physical examination, 12-lead ECG, and chest X-ray — is performed at the 4-week mark. For patients who experienced post-operative complications such as prolonged atrial fibrillation, pleural effusion, sternal wound healing concerns, or renal impairment, the fit-to-fly timeline may be extended to 6 weeks or beyond at the treating physician's discretion. During the flight home, patients are advised to: wear medical-grade compression stockings (20–30 mmHg) on both legs, ambulate in the aircraft cabin for 5–10 minutes every 60–90 minutes, maintain adequate hydration, and continue all prescribed antiplatelet and cardiac medications without interruption. GAF Healthcare's case manager coordinates the fit-to-fly certification documentation required by airlines for post-cardiac surgery passengers.
What is the success rate of Endoscopic Vein Harvesting for Bypass Surgery at GAF Healthcare partner hospitals?
Procedural success rates for CABG with Endoscopic Vein Harvesting at GAF Healthcare's partner JCI-accredited hospitals in India and the UAE exceed 95–98%, consistent with outcomes reported by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) national database for high-volume cardiac centers. 'Procedural success' is defined as complete surgical revascularization of all targeted coronary vessels, confirmed graft patency on intraoperative transit-time flow measurement (TTFM), and survival to hospital discharge. Long-term outcomes are strongly influenced by patient-specific factors: 10-year survival following CABG is approximately 70–75% in the broader population, but significantly higher in younger patients without comorbidities. Saphenous vein graft patency at 10 years ranges from 50–60% with standard medical therapy, improving with high-intensity statin therapy, dual antiplatelet therapy in the first year, aggressive hypertension control, and formal cardiac rehabilitation. The LIMA-to-LAD graft — used in virtually all CABG cases alongside EVH-harvested saphenous vein grafts — maintains a patency rate exceeding 90% at 15 years and is the primary determinant of the exceptional long-term survival benefit CABG offers over medical therapy alone in multi-vessel coronary artery disease.
