CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting), commonly called heart bypass surgery, is one of the most effective treatments for severe coronary artery disease (CAD). It restores blood flow to the heart by routing blood around blocked or narrowed arteries using a healthy vessel graft taken from the chest, leg, or arm.
At Charak Hospital & Research Centre, Dubagga, Lucknow, CABG surgery is performed by experienced cardiac surgeons with full ICU backup. The all-inclusive cost of CABG surgery in Lucknow at Charak Hospital starts from ₹2,25,000, with an average of ₹4,25,000 — significantly more affordable than larger metros without compromising on quality of care.
A transparent, component-wise breakdown of what your total CABG cost includes:
| Cost Component | Estimated Cost (INR) |
|---|---|
| Pre-operative evaluation (ECG, Echo, Angiography, blood tests) | ₹20,000 – ₹50,000 |
| Cardiac surgeon & anaesthesia charges | ₹80,000 – ₹1,50,000 |
| Operation theatre & heart-lung bypass machine | ₹40,000 – ₹80,000 |
| ICU stay — 2 to 3 days (cardiac ICU) | ₹30,000 – ₹70,000 |
| Ward stay — 5 to 7 days | ₹25,000 – ₹50,000 |
| Medicines, consumables & blood products | ₹20,000 – ₹50,000 |
| Post-operative cardiac rehabilitation & follow-up | ₹10,000 – ₹30,000 |
| Total Estimated CABG Cost at Charak Hospital | ₹2,25,000 – ₹5,00,000 |
The more blocked arteries that need to be bypassed, the higher the complexity and cost:
One artery bypassed. Simplest form, shortest surgery time. Estimated cost: ₹2,25,000 – ₹3,00,000
Two arteries bypassed. Most common presentation. Estimated cost: ₹3,00,000 – ₹3,75,000
Three arteries bypassed. Recommended for multi-vessel coronary artery disease. Estimated cost: ₹3,75,000 – ₹5,00,000
Understanding these will help you plan your treatment budget accurately:
Single, double, or triple bypass directly affects OT time, surgeon fees, and material costs.
Off-pump (beating heart) CABG may cost slightly more due to added complexity but avoids the heart-lung bypass machine.
Patients with complications or comorbidities (diabetes, kidney disease) may need longer ICU stay, increasing cost.
Diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, or prior heart attack can add to pre-operative and post-operative care costs.
CABG is covered under most health insurance policies. Cashless TPA facilities at Charak significantly reduce out-of-pocket expense.
Long-term cardiac medications (blood thinners, statins, beta-blockers) are a recurring monthly cost after surgery.
Both procedures treat coronary artery disease, but they are recommended for different patient profiles:
| Feature | CABG (Bypass Surgery) | Angioplasty (Stenting) |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure Type | Open-heart surgery | Minimally invasive (catheter) |
| Best For | Multiple blockages, left main disease, diabetics | Single or limited blockages |
| Hospital Stay | 7–10 days | 1–2 days |
| Recovery Time | 6–12 weeks | 1–2 weeks |
| Long-term Outcome | Superior for complex CAD | Good for simpler cases |
| Cost at Charak | ₹2,25,000 – ₹5,00,000 | ₹80,000 – ₹1,80,000 |
Our cardiologists will review your coronary angiography report and recommend the most suitable procedure for your condition. Call 0522-666-4444 to consult.
From diagnosis to discharge — here is what to expect at every stage of your cardiac care journey.
Our cardiologist reviews your symptoms, ECG, and echocardiography. A coronary angiography is performed to map the blockages and determine whether CABG or angioplasty is appropriate.
Complete blood count, kidney function, chest X-ray, lung function test, anaesthesia assessment and optimisation of diabetes or hypertension before surgery.
Under general anaesthesia, the cardiac surgeon harvests a healthy graft vessel and creates a bypass around each blocked artery. Surgery is performed on- or off-pump depending on patient suitability.
Post-surgery monitoring in our dedicated Cardiac ICU with ventilator support, continuous ECG, and haemodynamic monitoring. Extubation is typically achieved within 12–24 hours.
Gradual mobilisation with physiotherapy begins in the ward. Wound care, medicines, and diet counselling are provided before discharge.
Patients are discharged with a personalised cardiac care plan, medicines, and scheduled follow-up visits. Full recovery typically takes 6–12 weeks. Charak's cardiology OPD runs Monday–Saturday.
