- Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG): A procedure to bypass blocked arteries and restore blood flow to the heart.
- Heart Valve Repair/Replacement: Fixing or replacing damaged heart valves to ensure proper blood circulation.
- Congenital Heart Surgery: Correcting heart defects present since birth.
- Triple Bypass Surgery: A specific form of CABG surgery that targets three blocked arteries.
- Heart Transplantation: For patients with end-stage heart failure, this life-saving procedure is an option.

Step-by-Step Overview of Open Heart Surgery
Before Surgery
Preparation for open heart surgery includes:
- Medical Evaluation: Comprehensive tests, such as ECG, angiography, and blood tests.
- Pre-Surgery Guidelines: Patients are advised to stop smoking, follow a healthy diet, and avoid certain medications.
- Mental Preparation: Counseling sessions to address concerns and explain the procedure.
During Surgery
The procedure typically involves:
- Administering general anesthesia to ensure the patient feels no pain.
- Making an incision in the chest to access the heart.
- Using a heart-lung machine to maintain blood circulation while the heart is stopped.
- Performing necessary procedures, such as bypassing blocked arteries or repairing valves.
The surgery takes about 3–6 hours, depending on its complexity.
After Surgery
Recovery steps include:
- ICU monitoring for 24–48 hours to ensure stability.
- A hospital stay of 5–7 days for further observation.
- Regular follow-ups and medication adjustments to ensure proper healing.
Types of Cardiac Surgeries We Offer
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
- This life-saving procedure creates alternate pathways for blood flow by bypassing blocked coronary arteries.
- Patients experience reduced chest pain, improved heart function, and a lower risk of heart attacks.
Valve Repair and Replacement
Replacing damaged valves with mechanical or biological valves ensures efficient blood flow through the heart.
Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
Patients with specific conditions may qualify for minimally invasive procedures, which result in faster recovery and fewer complications.
Open Heart Bypass Surgery
Combining the benefits of traditional open heart surgery and bypass techniques, this approach treats severe coronary artery blockages effectively.
Cost Comparison: Iran vs. Other Countries
When comparing the cost of open heart surgery across different countries, Iran stands out as a highly affordable and reliable option for Bangladeshi patients. Here’s a breakdown of typical costs:
In Iran, the cost of CABG surgery (coronary artery bypass graft) ranges between $4,000 and $7,000, making it an extremely cost-effective option while still offering world-class care with highly skilled surgeons. The success rate for surgery in Iran is over 95%, ensuring high-quality treatment.
In India, the same surgery can cost anywhere from $8,000 to $12,000. While it is more affordable than Western countries, it is still considerably higher than in Iran. The success rate is around 90%, which is good but slightly lower than that of Iran.
In Bangladesh, the cost is around $10,000 for CABG surgery, which is higher than in Iran but still less than in Western countries. However, the success rate here is approximately 85%, which is lower than the rates in both Iran and India.
In the USA and UK, the cost of CABG surgery can vary between $20,000 and $40,000, with a success rate of over 95%. While these countries offer high-quality care, the expenses are much higher compared to Iran, making it less accessible for many patients.
Given this comparison, Iran offers not only a significantly lower cost but also excellent outcomes, making it the ideal destination for Bangladeshi patients seeking affordable, high-quality heart surgery.
