The cost of open heart surgery in Ukraine typically ranges from 15,000 US$ to 25,000 US$. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s expertise, the type of surgery (such as valve replacement or coronary artery bypass), and the complexity of the case. In the United States, the average cost is 160,000 US$ (according to the American Heart Association). Open heart surgery in Ukraine is about 88% less expensive than in the U.S.
Ukrainian hospitals usually include pre-operative diagnostics, anesthesia, the surgical procedure, ICU stay, standard prosthetic materials (if needed), post-op care, and a hospital stay of 7–10 days. In the U.S., many of these services—especially ICU care, anesthesia, and post-op monitoring—are often billed separately from the surgeon’s fee. Patients should confirm exactly what’s included in each clinic’s package before booking.
