The cost of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in Ukraine typically ranges from 25,000 US$ to 35,000 US$. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the cardiologist’s expertise, the type of valve prosthesis (self-expanding or balloon-expandable), and whether additional cardiac support is needed. In the United States, the average cost is 90,000 US$ (per AHA). This means TAVI in Ukraine is about 67% less expensive than in the U.S.
Ukrainian hospitals usually include pre-op diagnostics, the TAVI procedure, valve prosthesis (commonly Edwards SAPIEN or Medtronic CoreValve), anesthesia, ICU stay, and follow-up care. In the U.S., costs for the valve, anesthesia, and post-op care are often billed separately from the procedure fee. Always confirm what’s included with each clinic before booking.
