This section provides factual reference information on medical and dental procedures commonly sought through medical tourism. Each procedure page includes international price ranges, typical recovery times, common risks, key considerations, and questions you should ask any clinic before proceeding.
Price ranges reflect what international patients typically pay at clinics abroad — not domestic costs in the US, UK, or other high-income countries. Prices vary significantly by country, clinic, surgeon experience, and specific clinical requirements. Always confirm what is and is not included in any quoted price.

CABG surgery reroutes blood around blocked or narrowed coronary arteries using grafts harvested from the patient's chest, leg, or arm. It is typically recommended when coronary artery disease is severe or extensive, or when other treatments have failed. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia with or without cardiopulmonary bypass.

Heart valve repair is a cardiac surgery procedure, carried out to repair one or more faulty heart valves. In some valvular heart diseases repair where possible is preferable to valve replacement.

Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) is a CABG technique performed on a beating heart without cardiopulmonary bypass. The surgeon uses tissue stabilisers to immobilise the small area of the coronary artery being grafted while the rest of the heart continues to beat. OPCAB avoids the systemic inflammatory response and other physiological consequences of cardiopulmonary bypass, but is technically more demanding than on-pump CABG and may produce slightly fewer complete revascularisations in some hands. ACC/AHA guidelines recommend OPCAB as a reasonable alternative to on-pump CABG in selected patients, particularly those with calcified ascending aortas where aortic cannulation is high-risk.

cardiology
A pacemaker, also known as an artificial cardiac pacemaker, is an implanted medical device that generates electrical pulses delivered by electrodes to one or more of the chambers of the heart. Each pulse causes the targeted chamber(s) to contract and pump blood, thus regulating the function of the electrical conduction system of the heart.
