Why MEDOBAY suggest Iran perform cardiac surgeries?

Quality and performance implemented by great surgeons are crucial in selecting a particular centre in order to perform surgery besides the financial aspect of medical treatments is an important factor for patients all over the world. Here we clarify the costs of different common cardiac/heart surgeries in Iran in comparison with the United States of America or the United Kingdom.
According to the report of different USA websites and references, the average cost of a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) for uninsured patients in the United States is in the region of $70,000-$120,000. In some states however the price could go as high as $200,000, however, CABG would cost $1,000 to $10,000 in Iranian top hospitals.
TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) devices typically cost about $32,000, compared with surgical valves that average between $4,000 and $7,000, said Dr Lars Svensson, director of quality and process improvement in the Cleveland Clinic’s department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery. Mar 29, 2014, moreover, the mean and median typical cost for mitral valve repair was $30,720 and $28,717, respectively in the United States of America. The mean and median typical cost for mitral valve replacement was higher at $45,485 and $40,800, respectively. As far as we consider in USAthe valve only costs about $7000. on the contrary, the whole surgical operation for MVR or AVR costs in the region of $1000 to $12000 in Iranian hospitals.
Here is table 1 which demonstrates the cost of different procedures in the UK as it is clear the cost in Iran is substantially competitive with UK and USA

NHS Price List
Procedure Current Cost
Heart valve surgery £7,294 to £9,788
Heart bypass £2,540 to 6,911

Therefore in spite of high tech devices and highly skilled surgeons in cardiac fields the costs of different surgeries are much lower in Iran.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG)

Coronary artery bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and colloquially heart bypass or bypass surgery, is a surgical procedure to restore normal blood flow to an obstructed coronary artery.

Aortic/Mitral Valve Replacement (AVR or MVR)

The aortic valve is one of four valves that regulate blood flow through the heart. These valves keep blood flowing in the correct direction through the heart. Aortic valve repair or aortic valve replacement can treat aortic valve disease and help restore normal blood flow, reduce symptoms, prolong life and help preserve the function of your heart muscle.
Mitral valve replacement is a cardiac surgical procedure in which a patient’s diseased mitral valve is replaced by either a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)

Your doctor may recommend abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair to treat an aneurysm. An aneurysm is a bulging, weak spot in the aorta that may be at risk for rupturing. In this case, the aneurysm is in part of the aorta that is in the abdomen. Repair of an AAA may be done in one of two ways:



Carotid Endarterectomy

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgical procedure performed by vascular surgeons used to reduce the risk of stroke by correcting stenosis (narrowing) in the common carotid artery or internal carotid artery in other words Endarterectomy is the removal of material on the inside of an artery.
